make sure the loc is tied to a full range signal (not the subwoofer) that will cause uneven signal to the amp.. because the sub level lowers as the total volume increases.. so try hooking the loc to the front 2 channels.. it'll make a big difference.. most shops tie to the sub because its easier to access.
2nd i didnt see the setting for the infrasonic filter it should be (ON... from it i can make out its turned off) set higher than the 3db down point of the port tuning frequency.. if u dont know the tuning freq.. the try between 30 & 45hz.. the woofer will break up under the tuning freq of the port.. the infrasonic filter is a low end crossover stopping the woofer from playing notes too low to handle safely....
LOC = high to low converter.
ditch the bass **** and ditch the ported box!!
Bass ***** only increase a certain frequency, IIRC it is 45hz. Not the deep "clean" bass that you are looking for.
And yes as someone stated, if your looking for SQ. Ported is not the way to go. Infinite baffle would probably be the best bet.....

Removing bass **** while sealed was already tried barely a difference. btw when i did try sealed it did sound better, but not much better.
Settings in Detail:
Output - Ampfilter
12/24db - near 22
Filter mode - LP
Bass eq- on
"Q" - 0.5
Center - 20
Boost - near 0
Amp LP filter - slope, and underneath that says 24 db
Input voltate- low
filter frequency - 70
signal sensing - off
Infrasonic switch from off to on made it a bit better. Adjusted the setting to around 35 also

I'm going to keep messing with this until im satisfied lol

I noticed in the pitcher (4th one) that your input sensitivity seems to be halfway up (but since it's a pot, that could just be the way it was installed in the amp itself). If it is halfway up, that's entirely too much. With a LOC, you are feeding the amp quite a bit of signal, but if it's done off a sub output, they may have bandaided it by doing this - and distorting the living bejeezus out of the signal at the same time.
I suggest changing the input to the LOC and readjusting the gain (AKA input sensitivity) correctly, along with the above, and you should see much better results.
PS - I have to disagree that a vented enclosure can't sound good. Provided the rest is setup correctly, they certainly can. Expecting extremely tight bass, however, is another story. That takes a lot of tuning and experimenting, which most shops are want to do.

thank you for the reply. I will keep posting and updating how it's coming along. I plan to call up the shop and tell them about getting the loc connected to a full range output from the back speakers and hopefully they wont charge me anything.
I will also try adjusting the options on the amp and see what that does.
btw can you tell me what the difference of using the sub output is vs the back speakers. How would it give it a better sound
