Why does the sub sound like sh*t?

The amp manual says it can run at 2 ohm no problem.

You have it in the wrong size enclosure let us know your model number and I will tell you the correct volume for your enclosure. Each sub has its own set of parameters which are used to calculate the size of the enclosure.

The model number off my sub is Audiobahn AW1008X  - these are the specs for the sub (

200 oz of Precision Engineered Multi-stacked Magnets Power Handling: 1000watts R.M.S. Frequency Response: 20Hz – 500Hz Efficiency: 87dB Bolt Tight Motor Structure PHAT 2 Inch Foam Surround Laminated Glass Fiber Composite/Pulp Cone 3 Inch 4-Layer AVS Voice Coil Dual 1 Ohm Voice Coils 1/2 Ohm or 2 Ohm Operation Mounting Dimensions: Depth; 6 Inch Hole; 9 1/4 Inch Diameter; 10 7/8 Inch

Your sub needs to be in a ported 1.9 cu/ft box with (1)4x11.5 port. Or 1 cu/ft sealed I have some AW1208Q’s in  1 cu/ft  per chamber sealed  and they sound pretty clean and hit very hard. Is your enclosure ported or sealed? Was the enclosure designed specifically for your sub? Also if you call Audiobahns tech support they will work with you to ensure you get the proper sound.

Sweet, thanx allot.  Really appreciate it.  Looks like I'll have to wait a bit before I stick in the car. I have 2 of those 10's & an audiobahn 12 too & I was planning to throw that 10 in for now but I think I'll just wait until I get everything together for a FULL install...
