[QUOTE="Firewalker, post: 8725749, member: 676743"] You are not giving that subwoofer enough power. The RMS on it is 750 so you are under-powering it by a decent amount. Putting it on a bigger amplifier will do wonders for that subwoofer. Those are known to get down. Your 38hz might be a bit much but a Box Designer there would know better then me. But what you play for music as well helps. I also would think about doing a 2nd subwoofer if you can and then getting a bigger mono-block amplifier that can run at 1ohm. Type Rs need power and right now you just don't have enough of it. Then you would also have to upgrade to 1/0 for the amplifier as well but that is no big deal. [/QUOTE]
