i have one 12 power acoustik 600w RMS in an obcon box. with a 450w alpine mono amp with a cap also. my friend has the same setup escept he has a 10 and his hits harder and doesnt bounce at all. what would cause my sub to bounce so much.

what type of box are you and your friend using? i would have to say subs in sealed enclosures don't move as much as in vented,

how do you KNOW how much your subwoofer should be moving??

Have you checked the excursion in a modeling program with the applied power and enclosure specifications???

it is called excursion.
