[QUOTE="Jcsaudio, post: 8641816, member: 673752"] I know this sounds kind of elementary but did you check the basics? Is the sub actually wired to 1 ohm (verify with multimeter)? Is the sub sealed to the box properly or is the box leaking? Push on the sub in a very quiet area and listen for air leaks. Is the gain for the 4 channel set properly compared to the sub amp making your main speakers get louder than the sub with less volume? You are comparing this sub to a shallow JL but is this sub in the same location in the same car (apples to apples)? Did you try changing the phase to see what happens? If you do not listen to your music at volume 38 out of 40 than try adjusting the gain by ear as some have said above until it blends in with your front stage and then upgrade the amplifier and go with a ported box later (not pre-fab box). That subwoofer really needs an amplifier capable of a true 600 watts RMS bare minimum and at least 750 watts RMS for headroom. [/QUOTE]
