  1. Because of the hype from my co-workers, people on the Internet, listening to one of my co-workers SA8 (which sounded amazing I might add), and Brian from Sundown, I was hoping a deeper and louder bass than my previous subs. Especially considering the price I paid for them.

    Truth to be told, I'm feeling a little discouraged at the moment for choosing these SD2s. I'm really hoping that I'm just being a drama queen and don't have these tuned right but, honestly I'm losing faith.

    I bet you it will sound much better if you change your box...how are your fab skills...I would do ported...

  2. Update:

    I swapped amps from the corolla with my truck.

    Going from a GM-D8601 that pushed 800RMSx1 @ 1ohm stable to:

    GM-D9601 that is pushing 1200RMSx1 @ 1ohm stable.

    That made a little improvement but I still do not fee like the subs are producing what they could be. Any suggestions? Anyone?

    Could my process of tuning be incorrect?

    I am using the 40hz Shine test tone. It is being played from my phone via Bluetooth streaming. Before playing the test tone, set my H/U to volume 25 (full is 40 and setting to 30 just seems too loud for the speakers) I ensured that the crossover on the H/U is off, and the amp's LPF is turned all the way down to 40hz. From there, I set the gain accordingly. When adjusting the amps LPF 80hz to 100hz seems to make the subs respond the best. At the H/U side, I try to match as best as possible. It seems that 80hz with -18db sounds the best for these subs but their "loudness" lacks.

    Is there a better way to go about this?

    What kind of sound do you expect it to produce?
