Why do my subs hate some songs?

High-pass (subsonic) filter should be set just a few Hz below your tuning frequency at most. Even that 33Hz tuning 25Hz SSF is dangerous.

box sounds like. my box was tuned to 38 hz for more of a spl purpose, thus doesn't hit my lows like i want either. soon i'm going to redo my port to like 31-32 hz

my box is tuned to 34hz, Ill try turning the subsonic down a tad to around 30. I wonder how much longer my subs coulda handled that Luckily my gf doesn't like it that loud so I hardly ever banged them out. Until today that is lol

i really can't set it too accurately anyways, but cutting off anything below 25Hz sure as hell is better than having the filter off all together.

could also maybe be the sound quality of the songs? I try to stay away from anything that's not 320 kps.

That is a general statement that most times is simply not true. Many factors go into it, like input power, box size, etc... but generally speaking you do NOT need to set your SSF a few hz below tuning. You can usually start off with the SSF set a half octave below tuning, and adjust it from there to fit your actual setup.
