[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8616884, member: 650438"] You have dual voice coils, the only proper wiring configuration you can do is series/parallel which is 4 ohms and parallel which is 1 ohm. you are likely at 4 ohms only unless you wired it wrong. Thats a super dirty signal if you have bass boost up and gain maxed. You'll cause longterm damage to the subs like that. Get a 1000 rms at 1 ohm stable amp and wire it to 1 ohm. Never ever use boost always have more power than you need so you dont ever have to force the amp into overdrive producing mass amounts of dirty power. Also learn how to properly set your gains. Also depending on your head unit, you need to know how to set things properly on the head unit as well. [/QUOTE]
