[QUOTE="audiobaun, post: 8703656, member: 634282"] So by wiring the sub to both coils properly you will be at a 2 ohm load and should be able to get that 500+ rms on that rather than using that one coil. Wire as stated to 2 ohms to amp properly, as stated above. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/subwoofer-wiring-diagrams.asp?Q=1&I=42[/URL] Before going through all that rewiring process, This would be the time to see if BOTH COILS/each terminal of Poss, and Neg. are at the 4 ohm value with a DMM.Takes like 5 min. while the sub is out. May be a reason WHY the sub is wired incorrectly(Such as One bad coil? ) Of which you can still run the other coil if its good and the other is burnt,.You are going to be at half the RMS Value(250 rms) Example) and a higher ohm load just to have some bump in the trunk rather than some nice bass.. If Its good,continue to wire at 2 ohms, and retune .Later on if you want to add another P3, get same one,brand and Model #, and build you a nice 3.75-4.0Cu.Ft Enclosure tuned to about 32-35 HTZ,(I like for this type vehicle) and wire at a 1 ohm load for 2 subs [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/subwoofer-wiring-diagrams.asp?Q=2&I=42[/URL] Retune, That amp will be at its potential,and the subs should move some air, and sound pretty nice [/QUOTE]
