Well it could be the box is to big or to small. But i would say that it is the AMP. Do you have the power turned down. Also if you have a crossover one of the setting could be messed up. Check your settings on everything. Something needs to be adjusted.

It may be the subs. I have never heard any Kenwood subs sound the way you would think they would.

With that sized port and 2 feet that is way to big of a box. Way to big, You should but two subs in each box and hack down the port.

I think i get what your saying. But for the best results the port should be on the same side as the sub.
