Well, either you need to turn it up louder or set something. But my inital thought is that your subs are not in a good position. In other words you shoud try tilting and moving you box around in the trunk ofr where ever to get the best sound.
Try letting the seat down or venting the rear deck if your subs are in a trunk. Like Pat said, experiment with position of the subs. You could possibly have a lot of factory sound deadening between the trunk and cabin and the pressure from the subs may not be able to come into the cabin. Also, try reversing the phase of the subs so that they hit in phase with the components up front (this can make a very large difference) and also check your crossover point.
well truck bass always will sound harderbecasue its open space. in a car thers less space for air to move so you will feel it more in a car than in a truck. What setup are you using, it might come down to buying a hier powered system
I'm assuming you're running a 1 ohm load. That amp is 1200W RMS at 1 ohm, 1500 is their "dynamic" rating, so you're underpowering the subs a tad. If your subs are sealed, then you could consider a ported enclosure if you could fit it. If the SUV is large, it'll be quieter, understand that hatchbacks are going to be louder than SUV's due to less air to be compressed. It's just a fact. Comp VR's aren't the best SPL subs, anyway, also the subs might not be as responsive and "tight" as your friends subs are, which contributes to the punch in the chest factor. You would have been better off getting two higher excursion 12's or 15's in ported boxes. I see a lot of people buy as many cheap subs as they can get to get some SPL, not realizing that they could have spent the same or less on 2 subs that are better and would require the same or less power than the 4 subs would, get more SPL out of them and use less power. Check the crossover. Higher frequencies tend to be tighter and punch you in the chest more, and you may have the crossover set where your subs won't produce this. I don't recommend setting higher than 100 hz, (usually 80 hz or lower). Have you tried what I've recommended above?
