Could be many reasons. If you think it hits ok, it could be because the equipment is ok.

Did you connect it properly(bridged)? Gains set correctly? Xovers correct? Sub output on the head unit set ok? Fuses all there and correct value, cause I had a problem melting glass fuses in the power wire, where they did not burn, but passed very little current?

^^^ Box design is a major factor...

Then disconnect the system and let a professional install it all.
