[QUOTE="TeenWolf, post: 1067651, member: 561987"] If I read your post correctly (not sure that I did), you have each DVC sub wired in series. The subs are 4 ohms for each voice coil, so the resistance for each sub is 8 ohms. Wiring them in parallel (Connect the positive terminal from the amp to one pos terminal on the sub. Then use another piece of wire to connect that pos terminal to the other pos terminal on the other voice coil. Do this for the neg terminals too). This would give you 2 ohms and more power from your amp. But you need to ensure that your amp is stable at 2 ohms (check your manual). [/QUOTE]
