very aggrivated...
alright, so i got my subs fri and got my amp to day and hooked only one of them up because i only have one of the amps at this time. Well i must say something must be wrong because i am dissappointed in this system. my one twelve inch solo L7 hitt harder than my ti 15". Not exactly sure why either. I know these things have way more potential than i am seeing. they are in a sealed box approxamatly 1.5 cubic feet chambers although they displace .30. I am really hoping it is the box. I know i hooked everything up right i have been doing this crap for over 10 years and am very carefull about how i hook every thing up. Does this sub look like the 15" pro or regular? If it is the pro i probably need alot more power. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

one big inefficient 15 in a small sealed box will not be as loud as a 12 ported with that same amp you have. IMO i would go no lower than 1.75 gross cubes even 2 cubes per sub sealed. port that 15 for some nice spl if you crave it but you have 2 so you are fine. 1.5 cubes gross is very very small and i doubt those woofers are "small box optimized". with 2 cubes gross you get at least 1.7 which is much better. build a better box then let us know.

Eh, the sub isn't going to get USED to the box. It's not a variable.
