[QUOTE="yogegoy, post: 8219445, member: 659113"] I didn't read everything written here just parts of it. Just make sure you measured each voice coil if they are truly putting out 4ohm's each. I recently purchased a refurbished JBL GTO-2400 that was stable at 2ohm's, I have two Critical Mass UL-12's thinking they were 4ohm's each voice coil. To make my story short my UL-12's were actually 1.5 ohm's each (too late for outcome), so in parallel (thinking they were 4 ohms and they would be just fine at 2 ohm's) they are 0.375 ohm's. The amp was so weak and putting out a lot of distortion not knowing I may have damaged the poor amp. Luckily I was protected with ebay's buyer protection and got a full refund after returning it to the seller for "Item was not as described" claim. Make sure you use a DMM and measure each coil.
