What's Wrong!

I just had a bazooka 100 watt sub installed. It's not doing much. In fact, the systems seems worse than stock. I've used bazooka's before and was happy with the results. However, the last I had one it was with an aftermarket head unit. This one is with the stock system.
Any advice from you experts!

if its with the stock sub i would try to find the input converter. try to mess around with it to see the level you want it at.

So i guess the tube has a built in amp and has high input going into it from the sub wires. Does the tube have a gain level you can adjust? Also, I believe the sub wires are crossed over to low frequencies so i dont know if that may go into play.

the tube should have some adjustment since it has a built in amp. but i cant say forsure since i havent dealth with bazooka tubes. if its using your stock sub source. you can control the bass with the bass *** on your stock deck. i say your best shot is finding that input converter.
