ok thanks ill check with them.

i dont see how i could have wired it up wrong its pretty simple. and i dont think they are out of phase cuz it works on one amp and not the other with exaxtly the same wiring

ive tried turning bass boost up and using the knob and unplugging it. nothing makes much difference

These are my amp settings. No the gain isn't all the way up

It's at 4 ohms until I get my new alternator cuz stock is garbage. I switched the amp to a cheap Kenwood 500 watt amp though and they run fine on that. And every thing is wired the same

I don't have a multimeter but I'm going to switch out the amp and see if that helps

It sounds like it could be a short because I a m barely getting any cone excursion just a few millimeters but I don't know here it could be. I can get pics in the morning. If i pushed the wire to far into the terminal and it touches the side of the sub is that a problem? I don't know if I did that or not but it's a possibility so if it can cause problems ill check that once I have some light.

Started gain at minimum and then turned it slowly to middle not much happened. It barely became audible at half setting. Yes I triple checked the wiring I don't see any problems. I took it all apart and put it back together and that didn't help either

Yes they are dual voice coil. How would I be able to tell if they are out of phase

The enclosure is ported tuned to 31hz 15in tall 19 in wide and just under three feet long. but the enclosure isn't the problem. I I am literally getting so little cone excursion at full tilt that when I put my hand on the sub I can barely feel it. lpf is at 100hz ssf is at 20hz.

I just switched out my old Kenwood subs and 500 watt amp for 2 12 in icons and a bc2k and there is almost no output from the subs. I didn't change any settings on the head unit and I double checked the wiring they are wired to 4 ohm so I should see 700 watts. The amp is on and not in protect. The bass is so quiet that the factory speakers are louder. Anybody have any ideas on what could be wrong?

Decided to go with 2 12 in. Icons

do you think i could fit an 18 in zcon? thanks for all the feedback!

And what power alternator should i be looking at

Yeah they redid the intrepid in 02. Thats when the seats started folding down. I think i will tune to 31hz. And the actual trunk is bigger than those measurements
