[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8573098, member: 650438"] shoulda done 1 ohm. you were clipping them to hell at 2 ohm because you werent satisfied with the output. Whenever you wire to 1 ohm expect 2 to 3x the box rise so you actually end up at 2 to 3 ohms power wise you will never get 1 ohm power wired to 1 ohm EVER. This is why people claim they can put double the rms to their subwoofers its not because the subs can take a lot of power, its because of box rise and the sub is just seeing rated power instead. This is why headroom is important their subs can handle rated power because its clean power. Yours was less than rated rms but was dirty as hell due to your dissatisfaction with the output. [/QUOTE]
