Sundown SA-12 Too much bass

[Shesinmypants]

I have a sundown sa-12 in a ported box with a Hifonics BE1200.1D running it at 1 ohm. The bass is too much and rattles my whole car. Do you guys think I should go with a single 10" . I want bass that has a deep punch, I feel like the sundowns don't do that. My brothers soundqubed hds312 hits harder than my sundowns. I was thinking about maybe getting JL Audio 10W3v3-4. What do you guys think?

I had the same problem with 3 sa 8's. It was just too loud. I kept turning the volume up so my highs would get louder but the bass just kept getting louder too. I couldn't figure out what to do and I tried everything. I eventually just had to sell the car for cheap because I just couldn't fix it.

I think I just lost a few IQ points.

Punch is not deep, dont get sh*t mixed up punch is in the midbass section wich is Faaaar from deep. What you have right now is closer to deep, heavy rumbling low notes that flexes your windows.

For less bass. turn your gain down. Whats your box tuned too?

It's tuned to 32hz. The gain is set at less than half

It's tuned to 32hz. The gain is set at less than half

Then TURN IT LOWER. But **** really half? With hifonics amps thats like a quarter gain compared to quality amps.

I'm guessing the main problem is my car. It's a Camaro and the trunk is pretty small
