i have 4 xfl 12s in a cobalt coupe. forward firing in the backseat area and port up 33hz on a crescendo bc3500 at 2ohms (until i get an alt) and i got a deka 9a31 plus my stock batt. almost completely sealed from trunk. hit really weak, even for low power its barely pushing air or hitting.

What gauge wire? And have you ran the big three?

750??! Yeah, fuck that. Fuck this website, fuck SMD, fuck Steve, fuck all of his butt buddy mods, and their couches.

Flip the box. Face the subs up, and the port forward and see if that makes a difference... I had a friend with 2 P3 12's in a ported box that we built. He had subs and port forward tuned to 34hz. For an experiment he flipped the box up so port and subs were facing up and when he turned it up, it just sounded like air blowing and all the bass was cancelled out. Just give it a try, if that doesn't work, you've only wasted 2 minutes of your time. :shrug:

Edit: Also, check your phase and make sure you have them wired correctly.

You probably accidentally reversed polarity on one of the subs which is causing hardcore cancellation. Go back through your wiring and double check every wire is on the right terminal. With four subs I wouldn't be surprised if that rookie mistake happened.

Hell I did that with my 12's and freaked out when they were moving yet no sound was heard whatsoever. Ended up being just two wires that needed switched.

Wen I get off work I'll post a pic. Its not that it's wired wrong, I checked. Its that it sounds really weak. And 12awg. But its only like 1900rms at 2ohms and even less with all the imp and box rise

Hook up a 9v battery to the subs - they should all move in the same direction
