Check how you've wired it up.  With our ICE amp you connect a sub-woofer across both left and right speakers, can't remember the name for the technique but it gives more than twice the output.

Bridging.

But not all amps support it, so following the instructions for the amp is recommened ;-)

Thanks
I have tried the bridging method but the quality was bad,so at the moment I just have one of the original wires connected to front speaker positive it works but not as good as with the L/R Radio/CD.Will try again at the weekend.

Carefull about drawing the extra load from one amp channel.
The Impedance will change to that side and it can burn out the amp pretty quick. Or are there 2 subs in that back door. I think there is in mine, if both channels running a sub each its fine 8)

Thanks for info,yes there two subs in the rear the amp is fed with two wires from the CD/Radio (red and black) so if I take one to each channel I might be on to a winner.

Ive got a Kenwood 12" sub in between the seats in my truck cab, with a 1000w amp. It rocks, and its even better when people turn round, and think theyer going to see some Cr@ppy ford, or peugeot.
