[nickp 0]

I just got 2 12 inch 3xl subs and there not loud to me, the box is 2.0 cubic feet per chamber. I hear great things about them so my question is will they get louder after they break in or will i need to put them in a bigger box thanks.

3. Make sure you don't have the subs wired out of phase from one another.

also the bass faids after the first bass note could this be because i have 3 amps connected to my yellow top in the trunk and there is not enough power

what do u mean fades?

r u using burnt cd's?

The quality of them isn't that great and can vary from song to song depending on the file.

Also we don't really have a clue to as of what kind of system you have..

All wee have so far is 2 amps, 2 subs, and a yellow top in the trunk.

i found the problem, the settings on my deck weren't set right. These things hit so hard, thanks everyone for your help.

they are, but would a bigger box make them louder

THat I am not sure of, it will be more efficent, but I have not tested the new 3XL's so I cannot give a good reccomendation yet.
