[QUOTE="AFS585, post: 8477349, member: 667497"] i'm going to go out on a limb here and point out the obvious that nobody has noticed. location, temp and the fact that they sound weak or faint. your location is boston, MA so how cold was it when this happened? soft parts on a sub stiffen up when it gets cold, and in my experience a sub with less xmax will be effected at higher temps than one with more xmax but it will also regain it's abilities quicker than the sub with more excursion capabilities. it's been below zero for 4 straight days in my area. every time i start up in the morning my subs are stiff and need a good ten minute warm up at half volume otherwise if i push them to full tilt they sound faint/weak. several years back i had some insanely loud subs so for the winter i would pull them and install old school kicker impulse subs. they were effected by anything below 20 degrees but would warm up with only 2-4 minutes play time. my current diamond D6's don't feel it until it's below 10 degrees and require the longer warm up. while everyone else in the thread is on point giving you better equipment suggestions and teaching you the real expectations of your "1000 watt" amp, i believe your issue is more likely what i'm saying.
