[QUOTE="audiobaun, post: 8725760, member: 634282"] Well, by the description as stated,.. sounds to me like you have the subs wired at a final 2 ohm load of which the amplifier is stable at . Just doesnt seem as though you have enough power for the subs to actually do the work they are intended at theyre potential, let alone the proper box built for them . [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/subwoofer-wiring-diagrams.asp?Q=2&I=41[/URL] I myself would look at getting the Big 3 done first, and look at utilizing what you have till you get some funds saved to better support what you have now. Just my suggetions as followed:: #1- Get the Big 3 done in 0ga OFC(look at a future AGM battery,, the largest that you can fit under the hood the better) #2- Look at a decent Sub amp replacement with more power at the 2 ohm stable area of 500-1000 watts RMS or better and up to 2000 or 3000 watts RMS at 1 ohms for future Sub ugrades. #3- Id Use the subs you have now, temp. and run those on the new sub amplifier as they are for now and ,either decide to spend some funds on building a decent ported enclosure for those and see if they will work for you , or go all out and just spend the funds on the new enclosure and new 600-1500 RMS subs. #4- Look at adding another AGM battery in the future for supply needs,and possibly an HO Alternator if needed. Thats me.. Run what I have, and use what I have till I get the funds for the upgrades when I could. There is no shame running at a 2 ohm stable load on sub duty with decent power, and subs and a well designed tuned enclosure, that can hit some really nice clean lows. I did in my CRV on a pair of heavy tens in a 4.0Cu Ft enclosure tuned at 32 HTZ on approx 1700 rms that I did all I could to keep the roof from rippling a crease in it.
