What type of enclosure? What size? How are the woofers wired and did you check polarity as described above? What make and model amplifier? What is the net impedance load on the amp? How was your gain set? What vehicle and how are the woofers mounted in the vehicle? And no, your unacceptable sound quality will not be helped by a cap.

The very first suggestion is what you need to pay attention to. Disconnect one sub and see if it magically has more bass response. If it does then one of the two subs are wired backwards, as in you have hooked + to - and - to +. This is called out of phase and is most noticeable as a lack of bass response.

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

And for your question about positive or negative wire.

Wire is wire..there is no difference between pos. or neg.

It is just labeled that was for ease if use and connections.
