[QUOTE="Sech, post: 8020965, member: 650480"] I have confirmed its 2ohm by checking the wiring, it's two 2ohm DVC's wired in parallel for a 2 ohm load, I can check with a DMM to ensure the actual load while accounting for resistance. I like my LPF set high to take load off my mids, my doors can only fit 5.25's and I have components amped with a 4-way but a sub has always sounded better. I also have the bass set to center at 80hz with a Q of 1.00 so I figured it would even out. Im not sure if many of you have used kicker amps (I like them, but I realize there are better options out there, as I've said I'm upgrading to a soundqubed 1200.1D soon) but they have set subsonic filters at a 12db octave. I figured with the drop off of the filter it would lower the output up to 30-35hz not to matter, but maybe not. I've been told that by the audio shop guys that the subsonic on the kicker would be fine, but who knows...usually those car audio guys don't know much and think JL audio is the best product you can buy... Either way, I have no idea why kicker has a static subfilter on their amps, even their 2013 models, silly. Guess I'm saving up for a new amp... Btw, all my filters are set on my HU not my amps, Ive found with my system it sounds much better that way. I have a pretty decent HU so, I think it's fine. Kenwood Excelon Kdc-596 [/QUOTE]
