[QUOTE="Heeltoeclutch, post: 7480157, member: 629974"] I think it very well may be the box - I tried an experiment in my car with an 8" sub - I used a Sundown E8 d2 with more than 400 extremely clean watts going to it, built the smallest sealed box sundown recommended, and bolted it to the rear deck of my car. It had polyfill. No matter what I did, I couldnt get hardly ANY bass out of it. And I know it was moving fine - I could see it in my mirror [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif[/IMG] I did this because I wanted to add the least amount of weight possible. But i just wasn't getting anything out of it. So after MUCH deliberation I got a 10" SSA DCON and built a 1 cube PORTED box for it, ran it from the same amp with approximately 1/4 of the power that was going to the 8" (4 ohm load vs. the 1 ohm load of the 8") and it sounded AMAZING. and that's what I'm running now. So my advice to you would be to try and build a bigger, ported box for the current sub first, and if it that does not make the improvement you desire, perhaps go for more cone area (10" sub).
