[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8219228, member: 655960"] I get all that but I asked how you had the voice coils connected to the Soundstream amp and how you had them connected to the monoblock amps. If you don't know, that's fine but I can't help you if I don't know what you did. Your sub has two coils. Are they connected in series or parallel? Or are you only connecting one coil to the monoblock amps? If you're only connecting one coil to them, then it's obvious why they aren't as loud. The sub isn't getting as much power as it was before. And if they're connected in series, again... even less power s getting to them. The only way you would be getting close to the same amount of power from the monoblocks as you were getting from the Soundstream amp is if you have both coils in the sub wired in parallel so that it presents the amp with a 2Ω load. And if that's the case, the Alpine should sound just about the same as the Soundstream did. As for the Kenwood, I highly doubt that it does rated power and even if it does, it's no where near as good an amp as the other two. [/QUOTE]
