hooking up sub to amp

Yes, get it straight, it's Kleenex Gold. Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

Everything is done now, everything is working (that's great!). Now, this is my first time with a sub and is it supposed to sound so dull, muddy and simply like a mess of big, boomy noise?? I can't even tell the frequencies apart... Hm, I was thinking subwoofers would give me something else, but it is still pretty cool. Can't wait to give it 400 watts with a full signal, instead of the current 125 watts and only one channel.

sounds like you have the wrong enclouser size, or your low pass freq set wrong.    I would set the low pass on the radio to 120 or lower. also what type of enclosure are you running this sub in?2009 0-1000 Trunk WR 154.0DB 2009 1001+ Trunk WR

sorry, not meaning to intrude or jack this thread, but i'm having sort of the same problem and I figure I might as well lay out what I have to work with and ask for the proper way to wire them up. first: how do you wire a dual 4-ohm sub (rated at 600w r.m.s) on to a 4-channel amplifier rated at 75w x 4 @ 4-ohms (or 100w x 4 @ 2ohms)? second: how do you wire a dual 2-ohm sub (rated at 600w r.m.s) onto a 4-channel amplifier rated at 75w x 4 @ 4-ohms (or 100w x 4 @ 2ohms)? Other rms specs on the amps are: 200w x 2 @ 4-ohms bridged 75w x 4 @ 4ohms By wiring, I mean which of the subs do I put in series, which in parallel, and what terminals on each amp should the connectors go for optimum/maximum output, and what mode should I leave each amp: 2-channel mode or 4-channel mode? There's also a 3channel mode but i don't think i need that. There isn't an option for mono. Any help at all would be highly appreciated.xmfan

After listening some more to my sub I think it is fine. The bass differs from song to song. The boomy bass usually is heard in rap songs, but other songs have a tighter, cleaner, more pleasurable bass. But I really thought I was gonna get a much clearer bass, but I guess there is no such thing. The enclosure is a sealed 11x11x13 for a 10 inch sub. The size is fine I think.
