Sorry - I got the wrong end of the stick above - ignore

But while I'm here - Does your sub have a phase alignment?

What Interconnect, speaker and power cables are you using?
Do you have a dedicated power line from the breaker panel?
- what else is on that power line?
Do you have good quality wall outlets?
Is there a power conditioner in the system?
Is there a power strip/bar - what kind?

My biggest bang-for-the-buck payback for attaining "punch" was in these areas...
- Interconnects - Stager Silver Solids
- Speaker Cables - Van Den Hul 10 gauge
- Power Cables - Furutech with gold-on-copper connectors
- Power Strip/bar - DIY unit with Pass and Seymour outlets
- Power Conditioner - got rid of it

If you can't manage a dedicated power line, then at least replace the wall outlet(s)

Plug the amp directly into the wall outlet
Source components can use the power strip/bar

A good power distribution component e.g. the Dectet from PS Audio, will serve you well - there are other good ones out there - post a question here :-)

In my DIY power strip/bar I wired the outlets in a "star" formation - not in parallel - this eliminates any power demands from one source component effecting the delivery of power to other components.

Betchya thought the answer was simple :-)

Hope this helps
