[QUOTE="THATpurpleKUSH, post: 7500251, member: 615398"] The amp you have is probably only 4 ohm stable when bridged. I would try and find a more powerful amp first. You could get another g2 dvc4 and run both subs at 8ohms each to get a final load of 4ohms on the amp. Or ditch the dvc4 you have now and just get a single 4 ohm and you'll be fine. If you get 2 and run them together, you will be massively under powering them. Though they are pretty efficient speakers, make sure you dont try to get more output from them but setting the gain higher or jacking up the bassboost. This is the mistake a lot of people make when under powering their subs. Those subs have a 2.5in coil if Im not mistaken, they should be able to handle up to 600wrms of clean unclipped power, maybe a little more than that. I wired my G1 12-4 to an amp that was rated for 534wrms and it did fine and didn't get warm at all, I never measured box rise but Im pretty sure it was still getting at least 400wrms on the right notes. I love BA subs, they are really overlooked by everyone. My G5's are the most musical subs I have ever heard. They hit every note spot on from the mid 20s to the mid 70s. Everyone that has heard them has been really surprised. [/QUOTE]
