How exactly is it set? Are we talking a low pass filter here?

Your enclosure, the type of woofer and how much power will all play into how deep and/or hard the bass hits. For good lows you'll need a ported enclosure tuned low. 32 Hz or so. What kind of set up are you running currently? A larger diameter woofer normally will reproduce lows better as well. As far as the amp goes just make sure its set to LPF and is around 60 Hz. If there are any other filters on there let us know.

Well the amp should match up nicely for those subs, should be pushing them nicely. The box however looks a little small, wouldn't hurt for it to be a little bigger. I'm not super familiar with Kicker subs but I'm guessing those L7s like a lot of internal volume. I'd say a larger, custom built enclosure, all one chamber inside, tuned low, would make you more happy.

Those subs are also just built for SPL, they lack low end response and SQ... solution would be get good subs. lol.

There is a guy on here who builds customs enclosure for a fair price, shipped to your door. He built my current enclosure. His user name on here is Bassman3, name is Dustin. You can reach him by email here: dlaudiotech@gmail.com. He does fantastic work.

Subs/enclosure have the biggest impact on how low your music will play. When I switched from a Treo SSX to a TC sounds 5200 I almost cried the difference was night and day and the box was 38hz and no where near spec. Matter of fact it played music at 30hz that is 8hz below( don't do this) its tune and just blew the ssx away. With the right sub you can use different enclosures to "fine tune" in vehicle response and later add more power if you wish. Start with a good sub and the rest is easy, buy a crappy sub and you will just make your life harder..
