Bronze Member Username: Jdog123Vestavia Hills, Al United States Post Number: 92 Registered: Jun-06 | i built the box myself and took a lot of time on it so i would like to think its not the box. it wasnt my first either. its tuned to 32 hz. and it is the dual 2 running at one ohm. i knew it was an sq sub and thats why i wanted it but it just seems to not play nearly as loud as it used to. could be my ears are used to it now though. would changing the box to like 2 cubic feet be worth the extra effort to build a new box? thanks. |

If I were you, and you were me, and sean wasn't so ghey about reporting topics, then i would check my gains and connections. |
