  1. Thanks Chuck...Sorry about not replying as soon as I am. I do need to get one of those measurement tools. Not just for this project. At .40 cf it is at it's max. for suggested size box. It seems to be doing better but on some frequencies it sounds terrible. I don't know if porting the box would make a difference or not but the specs I get out of the modeling software calls for something like a 2 inch port 1/2 inch long for around 50 hz( not specific) That just sounds like a lot of port noise. At 400 watts rms....the sound should be fairly loud...I would think. I had a Kenwood 12 with somethinglike 200 going to it and it was pretty rocking. I know the 8 isn't as efficient as the 12 but at 1/3 the volume it sounds like it is hitting its xmax. Maybe I got a defective sub? However I do not think so because it is epic when listening to rap to an extend. There is a frequency that it really does not like. BTW how much are we talking about for those measurement tools?
  2. The box is before displacment. I am going off the light. I am in the middle of replacing the power wire with a larger gauge to see if that is the problem.
  3. No clipping at all. The settings are 1:oclock for gain, lp crossover 120 and bass boost 0 db
  4. The box is sealded. about .40 cf. the settings are reasonable I am somewhat experienced in car audio. That is why I am at a loss. It just sounds like I am trying to put 1000 watts through a 50 watt speaker. But it only happens when I listen to rock/metal!! Rap/crap sounds great......I just hate that type of music
  5. I just bought a vd8 and love it when I listen to hip hop but I hate that type of music. When I listen to something like Korn it sounds like it is going past its xmax even at low volumes. It sounds like crap. It is in a small box about .30 cf. Amp is a Kicker 750.1 gain about half. Any ideas? Smaller box, bigger box, add stuffing etc? Thanks everyone.
