Its a bit crashy when listening outside the car but I have to do some tuning. 2) I have yet to figure out a way to keep the sub from tapping the foam bottom on the carpet. Any suggestions are welcome that don't include cutting the carpet. The seat rails are the biggest hinderance, since they force the carpet down closer to the sub. When REALLY cranking it I can hear the sub flutter against the carpet producing distortion. 3) Anything below about 2/3 maximum gain its not noticeable.
1) The SWS-8 works the best if bandpassed between 35Hz and 150Hz. All that "boominess" comes from trying to work outside that range.

The 3SIXTY.2 can do that without any problem.

2) This really works to eliminate the carpet rattle as posted in the link above:



3) There's no need to adjust the gain of the PDX for the SWS-8, it can remain at minimum or at the most 1/4. The SWS-8 tight "punch" will come from adjusting the EQ bands between the band pass and by increasing the output level of the 3SIXTY.2.
