Sub won't hit higher notes

[RWhite]

I have 1 Nvxvcw122 dual 2 ohm hooked up to a hifonics brx1200.1D at 1ohm. The system hits lower notes pretty well:veryhapp: but when it comes to higher notes it doesn't even play or barley at all.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rage.gif.0ad8a6e5565b5fddce406566fdd05149.gif any help?

Amp settings. Box tuning

First - wrong section.

Second - sub woofers arent meant to play higher notes. That's why they're called sub woofers.

will the ohm setting have any effect? I was told because its at 1 ohm it will only get those lower notes.

No, it's a setting or box tuning. More than likely a setting. Unless your box is just ridiculous for the sub.

This is the sub NVX VCW122 12" Dual 2 ohm VC Series Car Subwoofer (VCW 122)

And this is the amp Hifonics BRX1200.1D Brutus 1200W Class-D Monoblock Amplifier

Play music and raise the filter till you like it. Then show your idiot friend and tell him you had to wire it to .0005ohms to player higher bass notes.

Could also be a phase problem with the sub where it interacts with the full range speakers at the bottom of their range.

I had that problem once and thought my enclosure was the problem. Or bad door speaker installation or a number of other possibilities.

I let it go on for months b/c I didn't want to do the redesign/rebuild. Then one day it dawned on me. I just flipped the phase switch (dial actually) on my sub amp and my mid-bass came to life...

And I felt like an idiot.
