[QUOTE="ACE74, post: 7783187, member: 620035"] how do they have it wired? if they hooked just 1 side of the sub to the amp it is wrong you either run it in a parallel or a series. so take the sub out to see or if you have a multimeter you can check thru the sub terminals on the box and if it reads 4 ohm they just used 1 side and you have to rewire the sub to a 8 ohm which is series or a 2 ohm which is parallel. any reading other then 2 or 8 ohm is wrong and can destroy your sub. If you have any questions feel free to contact me anytime. Hope I gotcha straight but if not someone on here will let me know lol.
