MM120 question

I have a single mm120 sealed enclosure with a bridged rockford fosgate punch 360.2 (this amp is underrated so it's actually more than 360w). My questions is how much kick should I be expecting from a sealed box setup? I am wondering if my amp is messed up or I have something wired incorrectly, because my friend's 12" cerwin vega svc ported box with a 300w amp is kickin noticeably harder than my mm120. Like, should the mm120 be shaking my seat kind of bass or is it simply geared more for quality and moderate spl?
Thanks.

    Ported boxes will hit harder than sealed boxes...
    Check yout input voltage going into your amp. Most amps only work great with votage above 13.5. A cap should help get more power/volts.

    Is your box with in spec?

    Also think about using a bandpass box.

    the box is about .90cu so it's a little bigger than spec (.88). My battery is new but I guess I should check the voltage. Have you tried the mm120 with a ported box? I'd like to know if it sounds any good less I waste my time on a sub that is designed for sealed enclosure.

    I don't think those subs are designed for a ported box. And you sealed box is within specs. Did you use any stuffing inside the box?

    DO a search on ebay for custom built speaker boxes a guy in Fla builds custom boxes real cheap. I'm going to have him build me one like the bandpass on polk's enclosure page for a single 10.
