The gain should be turned down on the amp and the sub-output on your deck turned up. The crossover frequency should be at 80hz or below. 60-80hz is the norm for 8-12" subs, 15-32" subs should be 50hz or less.

Clarion makes a 32" sub, and another company makes a 6' sub, but I can't remember who. I'll look it up later.

Those subs are POS anyway. Was just a marketing gommick. I know that Audiobahn has listed a 34" sub on their porduct literature and on the website but I don't believe they've ever built one yet.

The 6 foot sub was built by Richard Clark I believe for a SPL setup, but it was disqualifiied I believe by recent rule changes....
