Hi,

I'm quite misearable tonight. I had a great sounding Titanic 1200 sub
and 3 cu. ft box that sounded great. I unfortunately had no room in my
Pathfinder so I upgraded to a 12.1 Infinity in a 1 cu. ft. box. The
box is braced, has a double walled baffle and is sealed tight. When I
push on the cone it doesn't want to go in to easy. Anyway, I've tried
every setting combination on my MTX amp and the BASS is simply muddy
and boomy compared to my old Titanic setup. I'm wondering if my amp is
too weak. I have to EQ the BASS boost on the amp so that it's audible
and I believe this may be causing the boomy, muddy bass. If I EQ the
BASS boost down the amp becomes inaudible. I tried turing down my door
speaker amp and I the sub is louder but not any cleaner. I'm thinking
of buying a more powerful amp (the thunder is rated at 500 watts at
14.4v and 360 watts at 12v). It should be plenty powerful. My Titanic
was much cleaner and hit harder. Any advice? I played with placement
too. The curious thing is that the Infinity subs have gotten excellent
reviews. I'm just wondering if this is par for the course with small
enclosures?
