So I have a Blaupunkt Amplifier bridged to power a single 10" Polk MOMO subwoofer, and I've noticed that for a bridged-power RMS rating of around 380 watts, it just doesnt seem all that loud.
I'm pretty sure that its a power problem of some kind, because I'm supplying the amp with my headunits full 6 volt output power, and everything is EQ'd perfectly and installed poperly....Its just that the amp output tends to vary quite a bit from time to time, so it will be nice and powerful one minute, then not nearly as powerful as it should be the next.  Could it be a low battery voltage, bad RCA signal...?? Just tell me if any of you have had the same problem before ,because its been like this on and off for a while now.

The woofer has plenty of headroom....it will sound powerful one minute, then the volume will drop off considerably even when I go back to the same point in the same song for reference. Or sometimes on e day the bass will be nice and strong then the next day its noticably weaker (other people have noticed this, so its not just me.
 )I just hear guys saying that they have 200 watt amps that hit really hard and my amp is rated at like 380 watts x 1 bridged RMS @ 4ohms.....so I dunno. Im kinda leaning toward my battery being a little old and not supplying enough voltage. I just wanted to see if anybody else experienced a problem where their amp was kinda weak and then replaced their battery with a Optima or something with a better voltage output and experienced a more powerful, consistant sound.
