[QUOTE="gamehawk55, post: 8057981, member: 645990"] OK so I just did a little meddling (spelling? I dunno but anyways) with my system on the way to the store just messing around with tuning a bit and listening to some of the songs that usually sound like cra* on my system and I found that if I fade my system completely to the front so I can tolerate a little more volume from them and then crank it up pretty loud then the bass starts to sound a little better and blend a bit better. But I'm still not really "feeling" it. It's getting decently loud but I'm not feeling the hits of the kick drums like I would like to. So maybe I still do need to upgrade to 1-2 12's instead of the 8's. Cuz really even that old ES300 12" had more more cone area than my 2 8's do right now. So maybe that's what I've been chasing is the need to go back to 12's to feel that impact. Cuz just thinking about it now I haven't had a 12" sub since that ES300 and that was like 4-5 years ago haha. Had a JL 10W7 which was decent and now these 8's. I'm slowly making my way back up to a 12's cone area haha. [/QUOTE]
