Hmm didn't realize anything bad could happen. Haven't really played it much yet but then I'll go wire in series until I can power in parallel properly. Thanks for the comment and for looking out.Quote:

Only power I have at the moment is from the Kicker kx120.2 and I bridged it which can only be wired to 4 ohms so I could get the most out of the amp to the sub. Didn't realize I could harm it when I did this.Quote:

Subwoofer Wiring Diagrams, One 4 ohm Dual Voice Coil (DVC) Speaker
I would just run both coils, and run it at 8ohms. Or each coil to one channel.
Gotcha, as I stated before I will change it and wire it series. I won't play it till then.Quote:

The port seems plenty strong for what it is.Quote:

i actually think its an excellent idea and you just gave me the answer to my port problem.Quote:

Exactly what I was thinking.Quote:

Okay, awesome. I mean, I'd seen the bigger ports being done like but instead of gorilla tape body filler or fiberglass were being used but how I did it seems plenty strong and sturdy. Also, some use a square instead of a ring like I did but due to space available and placement I went with a ring.Quote:
