Looking for advice

I tried that also and came up with the same results... which really lead me to think that I needed to ask the pros lol I'm honestly  not sure why I cam only use half the rated rms of the amp before clipping

Are you sure that your hu is not clipping? No bass boost or loudness correct? No boost on the amp? The way you are measuring power is giving you va as you aren't accounting for pf. Your output is actually lower than what you are looking at with your current measurement.

Scope shows it as good.. but I tried setting the gain and all volumes and various eq settings just to play with the signal and cant seem to change the half rms wall

Could you have accidentally wired the subs wrong and aren't at 2 ohm?

I considered that and went back and double checked this afternoon. And checked resistence  with the multimeter and came back to 2 ohms. In honestly  stumped on this one

. What is your box tuned to? What tone are you using to check power output?

You say the waY in measuring power is giving me VA? And I'm not accounting for PF? I'm not following the VA and PF what are those?

Volt amps and power factor

I have no idea. It's a sealed shallow mount box with .75 cubic feet of air space per sub

I find it hard to believe that you would lose 50% power to impedance rise. I would give rockford a call tomorrow and talk to a tech.
