My subs 12", and 1200w are hooked up to a 900w 2ch amp, and they bump, but not loud, and if I crank radio, the speakers are louder than subs. The subs ARE NOT in a box, they are just lying on bottom of trunk, could that be why? Would i need a sealed box? I tried switting from RCA to hi input, but that didn't do much, in fact it almost killed my amp  any suggestions? |

Yeah I got a suggestion DON'T ever run your subs in free air unless they are made for free air usage get them in a box IF they aren't already torn up to hell. Good luck |

You must put the subs in a box, thats where all the sound is at. The sub cant move the air if there is no amount of air to move and push against. |

Well they probably are not damaged, if they still move and there are no signs of outer damage then they are probably good. How long were they in 'free air'. |

About total adding different times together maybe 3 to 5 hours, but in most cases the volume was extremely low, on about 30 and the limit is 63 |

yeah, they should be alright. Now you need to get a box. If you thought that playing the subs like that gave you SOME to NONE bass then once you box em up they will give you some bass. |
