This might sounds really stupid guys. But lmk if im wrong. Ok before i just had my box which was 5.4cubes tuned 38hz with two 6" external aero's if u lightly taped sub with finger you would just hear your finger.. Now when i went and pulled out the sub did all the small extra's 45s , resin , dual threaded rods , double baffle made sure was sealed up nice. Do the same thing actually sounds like a amp is pushing the thing u can hear the bass as if a amp were actually pushing the sub. Is is actually because i really strengthened the box. Oh yeah also did the old ductape trick around sub & siliconed bottom of gasket just incase i know i went probably overkill but rather go overkill then risk it on meter.

if the wires to the sub were touching together the first time you tapped it that would explain why it would just be a dull thud.

I meant neither time had powered. But what I was told sub is reazlly nicely sealed cause did all extras and 45s are letting the air to not pocket in corners like would before. So I figured it out. In other words built a real strong good box
