[QUOTE="Phatillusion, post: 13151, member: 541271"] Okay I see how you got 4 ohms. I'll be the first to admit, I'm not always 100% sure on what configurations achieve "x" ohms. I really didn't feel like doing the math either. But Zane and Audiolife made the point I was trying to get across, something in your setup wasn't done right. Whether it be your gain or volume control. Most people mistakingly think that they have to turn the gain all the way up, for the amp to be at full power. I've heard this quote so many times, and it gets funnier each time "My system hits so hard, and I only have the gain half way up, man if I turned the amp up all the way, those subs would be slammin." I'll admit, when I got my first system I thought the gain was the power control also, I found out that it wasn't after blowing a sub or two. Leave it up to Zane to top everyone else, that's twice the amount I was pushing into the W6's I set up a month or so ago. The guy is putting his car in a small comp this weekend. I think he can take at least 2nd in SQ. But as for SPL, I'm not sure. I think they are divinding the categories into # of subs. I'll let you all know how it does. Nothing big just a little who's got what comp. [/QUOTE]
