need help with sub sound!!

[BacksideUSA 10+ year member]

ok, i'll try and make this short... i recently bought a new system and just completed installing it. the subs are loud, but don't sound like i expected them to, especially at lower volumes. i have a kicker zx750.1 mono amp pushing 2 10" kicker cvt's in a sealed box under the back seat of my silverado. i think i might know the problem, but i'd like to hear some opinions. the cvt's are 2-ohm subs, so the only way i could wire them was in series, creating a 4-ohm load. According to my amp manual, the amp is only pushing 375W x 1 at a 4-ohm load.

So, if i get the 4-ohm cvt's, and wire them in parallel, to create a 2-ohm load, will that make the difference that i'm looking for?

2 svc4 ohms subs wired in series gives you an 8 ohm load. not a 4 ohm load.

A difference, yes. An audible difference... not likely.

Sounds like your gain is not set/matched to your HU.

i know. i have 2svc 2-ohm subs wired in series to create 4ohm.

what i said, is should i get the 2svc 4-ohm subs wired in parallel to create 2ohm

My bad didnt see that u said 2 ohm subs. well if you want you can switch subs or get an amp that does more at 4 ohms. whichever is cheaper.
