I made another thread but wasn't getting any useful help so I made a video. The amp is giving this 310 watts at 4ohms and the speaker is rated for 400 watts RMS at 4ohms. Just want to make sure everything is working right. thx.

edit: more videos 4 or 5 posts down.

looks like the polarity is wrong maybe but doesnt seem overdriven

well its not moving much at all but it sounds pretty distorted

yeah it sounds good, sometimes a little too much bass or not as tight as i'd like it to be but i'm new to all this, maybe it's just me.

here are a few more videos.. these are with the volume of the HU at half way

It seems that the sub isn't getting enough power. Its surely not being over driven.

What brand amp are you using?

I've installed CVR's quite a few times and the will generally move a lot more than that.

Turn bass boost off it is not needed and only adds distortion

Looks like it's barely breaking a sweat.
