    Hey I got this subwoofers powered with a
    Kenwood 2 channel 1000 wats amp
    250 w *2 at 2 ohm
    175 *2 at4ohm

    The problem is I'm not geting solid bass the bss is like vibrating

    Bad wiring?
    Bad subs?
    To many power?

    How can i get the best solid bass?

    I don't know if buy a new subs

    I'm thinking in a 12 inch mtx jack jammer.

    What u guys recomend me?

    Thank uu

    how are they wired?
    also what kind of box are they in?

    one more thing they are 8Ω subs so they are getting half of the 4Ω power rating.

    Thank u for ur answer


    They are normaly wire one for each channel..

    The box is completed sealed no air scape the box is divided in the midlle so they separate.



    So subs need more power.?

    2 8ohm subs (SVC) can be wired in a 4ohm configuration. problem is, your amp is two channels. you amp isn't putting a lot of juice into the subs to power them cuz they are only 8ohms.

    Those subs probably are 150watts RMS @ 8ohms. you could probably bridge the amp to get more juice @ 4ohms. what's the exact model of your amp? is it the Kenwood KAC-7204? if it is then just bridge the amp and it will give you 500watts rms at 4ohms. That would be more power than you need so just be a little careful with the gain. Wire your subs like this, then you should be all set!

    why do you think you need better subs? do you want more bass output?

    you need a better box. sealed isn't going to get you really loud bass. you'll have to go ported if you want loud.

    no problem. a box is a cheaper solution to your problem and it will make a world of difference if designed correctly. we have some box designers here and i'm sure they'll be willing to help you out if you decide.
