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.

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
