Sounds like the coil on the sub may be damaged from the clipping. To set gain you play a test tone an then check for AC voltage at the speaker terminals. In your case I would rewire to 1 ohm to be sure the amp isn't clipping. The you take your desired power (700) multiples by your ohm load(1) then the square root of that number. So the square root of 700 is how many AC volts you want to see.
