My subwoofer is supposed to play pretty low, but it won't play lower frequencies very loud. Tips?

What kind of sub is it, what size is it, what is its RMS power rating, how much power are you putting to it, what kind of amp is it, and what kind of enclosure is it in?
To be accurate anyone would really need to know more.
a generic subwoofer of say 12" will generally wimp out at low Hz if:
It is not amplified
It is not amplified anywhere close to its RMS rating
it is being used free-air (no enclosure)
It is a non-free-air sub in an enclosure that is too large
It's voice coil is bottoming out (cheap speaker not rated at low for low Hz reproduction)
You also might have its gain down too low, or your EQ settings set to lower bass. Also if your amp has a sub-sonic filter it might be catching parts of your ultra-low freqs...etc...
tell us more about your system =)

Install a good cross over unit and additional amp to boost bass.
