The box originally had no seals on it at all. Everything is secured perfectly, just that one side is moving. I may try this, thanks!

I have just resealed box with caulk because port walls were moving everywhere. Sounds amazing and bangs hard, although, I just noticed the left wall of the box vibrates. It is visually noticable, as well as heard. If I push wall in, to stop vibration, it makes a cleaner and deeper sound. I'm not...

Try checking the connections to speakers inside enclosure, they may be loose. Also make sure all wires are secure throughout rest of sound system. If blown you should hear distortion when they play.

Ok I will try that, thanks! Also since I changed enclosures, the ported does not give the same vibration and kick everywhere like it did sealed. It used to make it so I can't see through my mirrors and made it hard to breathe. Although, the travel distance increased and a lot boomier. UPDATE...

I have a thin RCA wire running into the amp. I will check LOC model and make later.

Is the LOC the High Low Converter?

Ok that makes sense, I will try the rewiring. I based the gain by how much I turned it, giving a percentage. Also, I have an import headunit, using a High Low Converter. Will this change anything? I have no experience with a DMM as well.

-Both switched to 2 Ohm -Speaker One Bridged with Speaker Two Positive -Speaker One Bridged with Speaker Two Negative - (+)Bridged Wire from Speaker Two goes Channel 1 (+) - ( -)Bridged Wire from Speaker Two goes Channel 2 ( -) -Gain at 75-80% UPDATE: I can post pic later if needed, thanks...

So I wired correctly? I do not believe that the sealed enclosure caused as much heat, so I'm not sure what's up with that. What could I use for airflow? I'm afraid of melting the insides of my amp.

Basically wired like this diagram, but with one terminal post each (2 Ohm Replaced with 4 Ohm) Also, no external fans running and is located in trunk of sedan behind speaker box. UPDATE: Earlier I had them at a high volume level while I drove with back seats and windows down for air flow...

I used k_h_a's second post, looks like it gave me 4 Ohms. I will use DMM to clarify.

What Ohm would I be at with those connections?

I connected Sub 1 Positive and Negative to Sub 2 Positive and Negative and connected to amp. they are both 4 Ohm DVC. Wouldn't that make it to 2 Ohms?

Only my enclosures changed, not set up, and I think that the amp gets even more hot for some reason. I haven't even pushed them that hard yet.

I have lowered the gain, but still very hot kind of quickly. (Ground connection is 100%)
