higher ohm load

[orioles26 10+ year member]

I made a new box for my subs and they are supposed to be wired to one ohm but when i check it with a dmm it says 2 ohms. My old box when i checked said it was 1.3. What would cause this and is there anything i can do to bring the ohm load back down closer to 1 ohm because the subs dont move as much as they did before. My new box is 4 cuft at 35 hz single chamber and my old boxes were 2.3 at 32hz each. Would the box being a single chamber instead of two seperate chambers cause this? And i did recheck my wiring and it is wired the same as before.

what voice coil is your subs and how are they wired? when playing music you'll have impedence rise regardless

THey are two dual four ohm type r's. I wired them the same way as they show in the voice coil wiring sticky for 1 ohm load. When i tested it they werent playing music i just put the dmm on the positive and negative wires before i put them in the amp.
