Question

I'm running a fosgate 1000bd into 3 alpine typeR 10's wired for a 2.6ohm load. The subs are mounted with 1 magnet in and two magnet out. they are in a 1.6cube seald box. I have to turn the bass up all the way on my head unit to get any typ of bass out of them. I have the gain just about all the way up on the amp aswell. This set up should pound, but the out putt is quite low. I can't figure itout. HELP

How are the subs wired? You should have one sub wired out of phase, so that they are all moving in the same diection at the same time. An improper box configuration can be another source of low output from your subs. 1.6 cubes sealed seems kinda small, but I could be wrong.

I'm willing to bet the subs are wired wrong. Make sure the 2 subs that are mounted with the magnets out are wired in reverse polarity than the one wi th the magnet in the box.

Okay now I think I know what I did wrong. All the subs are wired the same way. In phase with each other. If I reverse the one that is magnet in I should be good to go. It makes sence now that I'm thinking about it.... I think. I'll let you know how it works out. thanx for the input
