How come my CVR's aren't punching that hard?

[CobraStang98 10+ year member]

My CVRs are dual 4 ohm wired to 2 ohms. I'm using 4 gauge wire. I just don't get why my subs aren't punching hard like they should.

If u have to dual 4ohm subs they can't be wired to 2 ohms. A single D4 sub can be wired to 2 ohms but not 2 of them.

Do THIS::: If your not gonna keep the amp for life, wire em to 1 ohm and out your gain just under half way. NO bass boost tho. Maybe 15% bass boost max! DO NOT GO OVER ON THE THE GAIN!

Oh, and don't clip the amp too much, either

how do I wire amp to 1 ohm and is it possible to wire 2 dual 4 ohm subs to 2 ohms each?

I must add that IF you gonna wire that amp to for a 1 ohm load, check for heat on the amp. It WILL get hot about 45+ minutes of full tilt. Then, just turn that shiit down!

Also, set sub level on your HU to "0" - Important!! And, DONT go past "1"

This is for where I told you to set your gain at (that's if your HU is 2 volt pre-out??) Mine was. DOUBLE CHECK THAT! If it's more than 2. volts, turn the gain a lil lower then where I told you to set it at.

You can only have it the way you have it now .. (4 ohm on each sub)

It's all in the box. CVRs like big-ish ported boxes. 2.8cf sealed = ****.

each dvc4 ohm sub can be 2 or 8 ohms so 2 subs is either 1 or 4 ohm at the amp math cant lie sorry dude you arent getting **** for power out of the amp and your box sux those subs sound like poop sealed

I'm working on my 4 cf 37 hz box. After I install my new box, would my CVRs move more and hit harder?

Lol

Ever heard of a period or comma?

You can always tune your subs at sub bass+ at 11 or so and be fine with the setting at that level.

I always tune my subs with +11 sw level or so just incase some knuckle head borrows my car and turns it up =]

fo sho.

Since my amp is 750 watts @ 2 ohm and 375 watts @ 4 ohms, running my ZX 750.1 at 1 ohm is not good for my amp though right?
