[QUOTE="Rich B, post: 3354192, member: 571023"] You already used a DMM, right? One thing no one considers in this era of cheap watts is it takes subs with lower efficiency to handle all those watts. Huge 40 lb magnets, double spiders, 4" voicecoils, and cones as stiff as concrete all take their toll on efficiency. The end result is a 2000w sub system thats hardly any louder than a 600w system would have been back in the old school days. If you're sure your DMM readings were accurate, thats probably all she's got. There is one way you might get more volume, and that would be if your amp came with a birthsheet that says its capable of far more output than rated you could set the gains for that output. That would be your only hope of more volume without clipping. [/QUOTE]
