AAMPED LabsRestart is you are having issues. New update available.
We run our own tracks through the platform because it puts out a master that hits harder and stays clean even when you are pushing for max volume. It is built to sync with your specific box tune, like mastering a track perfectly for a 32 Hz setup or cleaning up a slowed and reverb edit. What tune or box alignment are you currently running in your daily driver?
I am running my CompRT 10 in a 0.6 cubic foot sealed box, but I am confused how a master can fix my output when my CX300 is only giving it 150 watts at 4 ohms. Is it really better to process the track before it hits the amp, or should I just focus on getting more power into the sub first?

You should strictly focus on getting more power into your subwoofer first. Audio mastering cannot "fix" an underpowered hardware bottleneck; if your amplifier is only sending 150 watts to a sub capable of handling much more, a mastered track will still be limited by that physical ceiling.

use a clamp meter on your speaker wire to check real time amperage while playing a 40hz test tone. if you are barely pushing 6 amps at 4 ohms, you are nowhere near your subs thermal limits. regarding the mastering side, aampedlabs.com helps me bring out those low transients on my twin t1s so they don't sound flat when the gain is dialed for burps. once you get a better amp like a taramps smart 3 or another rockford cp model, that processing will actually let you push the excursion without clipping the signal. measure your gain structure with a scope first to ensure you aren't sending a square wave to that sub at high volume.
