Are the subs wired out of phase? That cIt’s not semantics; it’s how sound works. I didn’t make sound work that way. A larger volume of air will have a lower resonance than a smaller volume of air no matter what, because it’s the properties of the air, not the properties of the woofer(s).
I don’t know enough about the box or woofers quite to come to a conclusion yet, need more info. I said the difference would be minimal, so I’m not saying or implying anything other than that, that’s why I said it was a technicality,
What size is the box? Sounds like it could possibly be too small of a box, where increased voltage in the coil isn’t able to actually move the cone more, so you get an air-restriction-distortion and not much sound past a certain amount of energy in the coil, restricted xmax. Just a thought.
And ported boxes are generally much louder than sealed, like you tune it to sound like you want.
Make sure your sealed box isn’t leaking, like some of the panels may have become not adhered together.
So just to be clear I am fairly new to car audio. I’m unclear on how ohms work and all this stuff. Just a dude that’s handy enough to install the parts.
I bought the speakers and box together used. It was a box specifically designed for my truck (ram 2500) to go under the seat. There are many boxes online very similar so it’s not a random or custom made box. I do not know the brand unfortunately.
Attached is a link for the speakers and a picture of the box and how I have the subs wired to the amp.
