| Try different box positions. Subs forward and ports forward, sealed off from trunk. Or sub up and port back.
Upgrade the big three under the hood and run 1/0 to the amp and reduce it down accordingly for amp input.
Try gain matching the amp to make sure it is clean as well as the head unit rca's to amp. Could try a different amp or add a line driver to up the voltage if need be.

| Could also try tuneing higher. Help to find the freq your car likes. And tune 2-5hz below the freq your car likes for the peak to be where you want it.
