The spikes almost completely erase the box vehicle interaction and allow the pycho-acoustics to work at making the 63 Hz and lower notes appear to be coming from the hood over your motor in the front !

How are you going to fix it ? Maybe sell & get another vehicle like one you have heard with excellent bass reproduction.
Besides being less than "optimum" on output ... Have you achieved a projection of the sound out to front hood of vehicle ? . . . or , is it just from the rear [ behind ] you ?
Found the problem. I was brainstorming and figured Id check final resistance at the terminal cup. 2ohms..... Its suppose to be 1.3ohms or close to it. so then I hit the terminal with 12v to see where the issue lies. Found one sub barely moving. Removed it to find one dead VC meaning that particular sub was acting like a passive radiator. That explains everything. For shits and giggles, I hooked up the one good coil and installed the box. SHIT CAME ALIVE!!!! Ordering a new sub and all else would be history.
Well dang man, sorry about the sub, but at least you figured it out!
Im glad too. Its not a biggie on the sub. Ill order another and worry about this one after. Im just glad I figured it out. I was really thinking the vehicle was the culprit. I have never found a vehicle I couldnt get big bass out of if thats what I was after. The box modeled great with the subs and there is PLENTY-O-POWER on tap with that Zapco. These things do impress.
Nicely done weshole !
Let us know when you drop in different sub [ 1.3 ohms equals BIG hittin low notes ]
:woohoo:
Actually, with the one vc hooked up on the said sub, Im at 1ohm (DVC 2ohm). But, I wont lose anything noticable when getting a sub with both voice coils good.
:nono: with only one voice coil working you lose half your output and try modeling another box . . . see what it says ?
With the output it has now, Im excited to get a sub with both working coils.
I should clarify. I will be replacing the one sub with a bad coil with another one to match the other 2.
