[QUOTE="Full Tilt, post: 8090444, member: 640249"] No offense, man, but I don't exactly see the equipment you're running as 'quality' stuff. I will for help's sake, however, roll with you on this one, since it appears to me that you're looking for a relatively modest setup. 1. Be sure your setup is wired correctly. You may be running at a much higher impedance than you're looking to be, and therefore your amp may not be putting out the kind of power you think it should be. 2. Honestly, I would upgrade equipment. I realize you're not looking for heart-stopping bass, but even on this small of a system, you can get much more clear, defined, well-rounded sounds from different brands, and probably for a better price than you got on your Kicker equipment. The CVT is a shallow-mount subwoofer, why did you go with this setup? Is it in the box recommended by Kicker? And, keep in mind - you're only giving that subwoofer 75% of it's rated power. Some subs really don't kick in until you hit that RMS mark. [/QUOTE]
