[QUOTE="nweibley, post: 361241, member: 551888"] Back on the first page: I'm having this problem today! I installed a JL Audio 12" W6 in a ported box buildt to JL's exact specs... [B]exactly[/B]... He got a new amp, and I set all the gain up with a multi-meter and 0db test tones, got everything tweaked out, made sure the X-Over was good, everything sounded great. I played a freq-sweep from 250hz-20hz to make sure his woofer -> subwoofer transition was smooth. It was, and when it got to the sub, it was suprisingly loud. Darn loud. Then he popped in some Static-X ... and was like "The kick drum, it doesn't sound as boomy as it used to! Why dont I feel it vibrating my seats?!" I just can't figure out why these people can't accept that there is more than just boomy bass. A kick drum should sound like a kick drum, not an 808 kick from an outkast song! Jeez, to me it sounded downright good... to him, not enough boom... Why are people so ignorant?!
