(909) 398-4014 I have to say it is a concern that a $300 amplifier from a brand currently shown to have a tendency to inflate numbers a bit is being used to power a $1,000 - $1,300 subwoofer - IMO, this was just not the right decision. If even "some" HiFonics amps are being tested and showing anything less than their rated power as opposed to much more like Alpines, JLs, ZEDs, and other brands with consistently proven cred, then I'm just not trusting your amp to be up to the task. That said, I should hope it's at least giving it 1,000 watts. If you are hearing NOTHING, then something is up. If it is just not SPL-enough for you, keep in mind maybe you are more suited to a totally SPL-oriented subwoofer designed to be just plain loud (and probably, as such, distorted). The W7 will get loud, but it's actually SQ-capable and blends. You could arguably find a high SPL number but not feel it is loud because it is doing its job of blending into your full-range music. While it's not the case nearly 100% of the time, I've heard your comment before from folks who think their subwoofer should be louder when in fact is loud but blending with their music: they comment that heir speakers are overpowering their sub. Assuming you purchased this JL subwoofer from an authorized dealer, why not call up JL Audio or the dealer and ask them for some advice? Got any friends with a different-brand amplifier you can hook it up to for a comparison? My recommendation: get a ZED Minotaur II or a JL HD 1000/1 or something else with true balls. I have hooked up a W7 in a sealed box to a ZED Minotaur II and the bass was nothing short of chest crushing. Another thing. If your box effectively seals off the trunk from the cabin, you're going to reduce the bass you get. Moved two subs in the back of an SUV to the back of a car... same box, same amp. Massive, massive SPL difference in the car (much, much lower) - could barely hear the subwoofers, total disappointment. The box basically fit so snug it sealed off the trunk from the cabin. Solved that with a new box... boom. So many things can be going wrong. Oh, and you don't need to measure excursion. Look at the subwoofer. Is it moving at all, is it moving at what seems like full travel at a loud volume? Are your gains set so that you are not sending a distorted signal? Did you accidentally wire the voice coils improperly by switching polarity? Troubleshoot, bro. Is a bigger sealed sub box better?2) Larger sealed enclosures have deeper bass and a smooth frequency response. They are great when you are wanting a more accurate response. They can handle less power than a small sealed enclosure depending on box size and woofer design.
