[QUOTE="vaiboy, post: 7405807, member: 570683"] Are the subs W6's or W6v2's, it's important because they have different impedances. The W6 has dual 6Ω voice coils and the W6v2 has dual 4Ω coils. If the installer knew what he was doing there is no way he would wire down to 1Ω with that amp, below 1.5Ω the amp will cut output and shut off. Three W6's can be wired to a 4Ω final load and still get full output from the amp. If they are W6v2's they should be wired to a 2.6Ω final load. I wouldn't mess with trying to do more than rated power if you don't have an oscilloscope. There wont be much difference in output between 333W and 350W, but if the 350W signal is clipped it could damage your subs. If you want to verify you are getting full rated power from your amp, verify the final load and double check the output voltage. The amp should be set at 63.2VAC for W6's wired at 4Ω, or 51.6VAC for W6v2's wired at 2.6Ω. [/QUOTE]
