There's no way that amp is giving you 300W into 4 ohms. It has a 25A fuse. Let's say it's max draw is 20A. 20x14.4=288. It's a class A/B amp, so let's give that 70% efficiency, that gets you about 200W and that's into 1 ohm. At 4ohms, it'll give you no more than 70W. Your sub has 5.3mm of excursion. To get true 300W into 4ohms, you need a solid 1200W amp. As you can see, it can get expensive, that's why a lot of people run everything at 1ohm or below. Additionally, the sub has 82db efficiency, which means it takes more power to get it going. Plus, it's in a sealed box, which further loses output. If you're also losing signal strength, that just adds to the overall effect.Let me know if you have any questions.</blockquote>
