[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 8202526, member: 560148"] Try it with no bass boost anywhere and turn up the gain and see where that gets you. Also is your tone a 0db tone, -3, -6? Your kind of doing it backwards anyways, your not going to be getting as much voltage on music as you will on the tone your running, so reading 15 volts on the tone means nothing for musical content. Also a single 8 is not going to play the lower notes very loudly at all, there just isn't enough cone area there, ported or not. Find a -3db tone and set your gains with that for around the 300 watt mark. Then play your music and see how close you can get the volume knob to that value before it sounds funny. Your box is a hair big,but shouldn't be effecting performance too much. [/QUOTE]
