Umm no. Notice the brand?

The DHD is overrated, and there is no way to tell the actual power output without a bench test. It will be very hard to suggest a sub without knowing actual power output.

Has no one noticed that the OP has a 4ch amp (the fact that it is a DHD notwithstanding)?

What the OP truly needs is another amp altogether //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
