what ohms are u running the subs and is the amp stable to push that load.

 

[liljohn42084]

the amp is 2 ohm stable and the speakers are dual voice coil 4 ohms i got it goin from positive to positive and negative to negative in the speaker and the amp is a mono block

 

[btlking 10+ year member]

your running your amp at 1 ohm thats prolly why instead of it being at 2 where its stable

 

[liljohn42084]

how do you make the speakers 2 ohms

 

[liljohn42084]

cause i also ran them on only one voice coil and ran them regular

I just checked, it says you can run it at 4 ohms or 1 ohm, not 2 ohms

If you only run one VC, you HALF the power handling of each subwoofer. You also adversely affect ALL the the specifications of the subwoofer.

DON'T DO IT. Good way to blow the speaker.

You NEED dual2ohm subwoofers.
