kinda odd i think..memphis subs

[thephoenixvampi 10+ year member]

i just got 2 memphis m class 12" subs, and they are no where near how loud my 2 ensignia 300 rms subs were w/ the same amp. - crunch 1100.2 pe wired at 2 ohm stereo. getting about 200 rms i believe. in a 1.25ft cu. dual q-logic box

any ideas?

if it's the amp, can i get some sugestions for a budget hi powered amp that i can use to upgrade later with?

that amp should be enough for them, however..were they in the same box?

exact same set-up ....just swapped subs...

build a box to meet the subs requirements and give them about 300w each.

That happened to me when I "upgraded" subs as well. Stiffer subs off the same watts in low watt systems is what my problem was.

sounds like you wired one of them out of phase or something

possibily that too.

only issue w/ that is both subs are wired in parallel separately on it's oown channel on the amp, and both sound the same, with just one or both subs hooked up

Verify the final impedance your amp is seeing with your DMM.

unfortunately, i am not very handy w/ wood/powertools.... more of a computer geek

yes if you getting same sound from one sub as you are with two then there is a problem.

how exactly do i do that?... they should be at 2 ohm per sub.....but, then again i am rather new to this.

i have a dmm and i used it to set the gains - the rest of the car sounds great btw....

 

[oldschool4me 10+ year member]

i would check your wiring again.

 

[alex5857 10+ year member]

get a DMM and test the ohm reading to make sure they are wired right. also it could be that the box is not fitting for them.

Build a new box //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

to check just set the dmm to check resistance and red and black at the terminals
