whats it tuned to? Im guessing its ported?

If you want a strictly spl setup then tune to your vehicle resonance frequency which would probally be like 50+ hz

You actually need to tune a few cycles below rf to peak at rf, in most cases. It takes some experimentation.

Your setup sounds like it should be doing those numbers. I'm doubting you are going for a strictly SPL setup since you can't play music on it.

Need an install? Hit me up.

What were you expecting from a 4 c/f box and 2K watts before impedance rise and voltage drops???

So if my Trucks RF is said to be around 38 hertz should I have my box tuned for around 35 hertz?

Enter witty comment here.

For SPL no, you start around 10 hz below resonant frequency, and you start to retune, usually i get around 5 hz below, but depends on a lot of things...
