Setup not performing as expected.

[Mistororange]

I have a cheap setup thrown together in my civic sedan , I’ve had way worse setups hit more consistently than this one and I can’t figure it out, I keep going down rabbit hole of amp woofer box not for sure what to change or upgrade I’m not expecting amazing w this setup but it seems to not hit as I’d expect in most music more upper bass super low rap certain songs it’ll boom great but more general it just isn’t there .

LPF is at 80hz ,I’ve set gain w test tone an oscilloscope for distortion , it’s 260 rms running to a 300 rms 10 inch 4 ohm sub in a ported box the box is 0.9 cubic w a port Hz of 39 , the sub calls for box 0.9-1.6 and its Fs is 38.9hz , so I feel like everything is matched pretty well

any help or need more info thanks

Tiny box.
High tuning.
Low power.

Its a single 10 on about 50w after impedance rise, you shouldn't expect much.

You bought the cheapest of everything; what did you expect? I'm curious what your "way worse" systems were made of...

hahah I’m not expecting much , just a little bass , this setup just seems to be missing a lot of higher mid range bass that same / cheap thrown together setups of similar power an size came through better.
I figured if it hit the lows decent it should be able to hit uppers decent too , but I’m not that knowledgeable and took a more technical look of putting together setups before until now an just a lot of information and stuff out there , so was wondering if anything I was missing aside from just being a small cheap setup

I have an 8 inch on 300 watts now, and it’s plenty loud for normal people. I’m adding 3 more, but even 1 is decent. The box is what makes or breaks a sub.

If its not hitting the certain frequency's then I'd say change the box.
Stay away from prefabs
If you have any kind of woodworking skills at all you can make your own for way cheaper anyway
