Subs sound different after re-install
All I did was change the 8 gauge to the 4 gauge wiring, added a big purple ground wire instead of the smaller brown one and used different wire from the head unit to the amp. I moved my amp from under the seat to mounting it on the box in the back as well. Now I notice that the subs arent as deep (12" slp) and they sound worse when they get turned up. I dont know what I did wrong. Did I do something with the wiring behind the head unit? Is it the new bigger cables? And the amp is a 2200 watt soundstorm. Your help is much appreciated.

what the hell is a hpf?? And why should I get another amp? A friend of mine who installs amps says this is one that he recomends when it comes to price and the quality. I actually like the amp and there may be a better one out there for what I payed for, but I wont know and right now I am pretty happy with it.
