[QUOTE="Preston019, post: 8082306, member: 644608"] Okay guys, I fixed the screws on the subs (used t-nuts) and I made sure the box was air tight; that didn't work. Next, I went and got an Audio Control LC2i, installed it, re-set the gain on my amp with an o-scope, and I'm still getting a sloppy bass. I listened to the bass more carefully and noticed that the sloppy-sounding bass occurs at the higher bass frequencies when the volume is at about half-way. The low-pass filter is still set at ~100Hz, I've tried opening it up some more, but it still happens. Could it just be distortion and I'm not actually setting the gains properly? Because if I have to turn the gain down, it already sounds somewhat quiet; I had a single 10" Kicker at 150 W RMS in a truck box, also had the fiber fill stuffing in it, and it was louder than these two subs I have now. Could the box I have now be too small for these subs? Should I look into building my own custom box (I have a ton of space in my vehicle)? Should I just get a professional to tune my system? I'm at a loss here, advice would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
