Remember that 12'' subs don't have as low frequency as 18" subs. Therefore your super low bass, lets say between 20-32 Hz, will not be as loud as your 50 Hz bass. Now I don't know about your subs, but if they aren't designed like JL W7's then you got trouble. :o

try going to your local car audio shop and ask them, they should know of someone that has a meter to use. If all else fails, just go to a stereo competition and test it out there
