sub gettin more power than another?

[chrisw91 10+ year member]

i have 4 RE8's, and the first sub in the box seems to bottom out when the others dont. is it possible that it is getting more power than the others? i have switched subs to the first hole, and it is still the first sub that bottoms out.

OK the first sub no matter what sub you put in bottoms out? do you have loose ground or possibly grounding out RCA cables? have you switched rcas to see if it changes.

If its ported, that one sub might be loading differently than the others..

my ground is pretty good, its inbetween the floor and the seat rail. havent tried switching rca's yet. and they are in a sealed enclosure with polyfil.

just to make sure my wording is right, when i say bottoming out, i mean it is making a tapping sound. thats the word for it right?

Sounds to me like you need to double check how the subs are wired up.

are the screw holes stripped out? or is that sub near the port opening and possibly not being controlled by the enclosure?
