Recent Setup

[TheBlackSheep 10+ year member]

If anyone read my last post about my sub, turns out one of the tinsel wires coming from the voice coil to the terminal had come loose; nothing a little solder (and a 1st degree burn on the ring finger) couldn't fix. That still leaves me with one twelve.

The other day, for $5, I got an Eclipse SVC 12; I already installed it, don't remember model numbers; it looks like the speaker was fixed at some point (There's this black stuff along part of the speaker; almost looks like it was caulk or some kind of heat-expanding filler). It runs 175W RMS and 350W Max, at 4ohms. I've got the CV 12 running in series at 4 ohms, and at 4 ohms the amp puts out 125W each channel.

It hits enough for me to know the bass is there, but it seriously lacks the hit it once had. Should I:

a) Buy new speakers altogether

b) Get 1 replacement CV 12 to have a set of two

c) Is there some way to tweak the setup for more desirable results?
