Settings are a possibility, as well as the way its wired.

The amp is a jl 500x1 and the sub is a 10w6v2..

And I am not saying JL is a slouch. I just don't think they can be considered a "Rolls-Royce" of sub's when if anything JL and Kicker are on par throughout their product range.

JL and kicker are apples to oranges.

JL is an SQ company first, SPL second.

Kicker is an SPL company. Stop comparing the 2.

I don't feel like googling the info right now. Go to another shop that knows what they're doing. Either your amp is too powerful or your current shop fvcked up.

Power isn't it

Sorta seems like the sub is running out of xmax

Is the sub in a ported box, OP? if so, what's it tuned to?

It's in a sealed box I had built for the sub similar to the 4080 driver side box..

That's an odd issue

The amp has to be causing it, though.

Take a picture of the settings on the amp and report back

Ok I will tomorrow, it's almost like the face of the sub is getting pushed out to far, I was thinking because of the settings maybe..
