TeamHT Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 You can't tell how much louder something truly is unless you're metering. Ear isn't always a good judge. Now, the enclosure I'm going to assume is a prefab and may have worked better for the smaller subs and might not have enough airspace. Also, what are the amp settings? And how was the wiring done? Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
