[QUOTE="VWBobby, post: 6957639, member: 624844"] You didn't really say how the subs are wired, either paralell or series? There are 2 versions of the XTR subs, a 2-ohm version and a 4-ohm version. If you have them wired for 2-ohm and run them in series, you'll have a 4-ohm load going to your amp. If you do the same and they are the 4-ohm version, it will be running at 8 ohms! At 8 ohms, its going to sound very quiet until you get the gains turned up. I would make sure you're driving your amp down to at least 4 ohms bridges, per channel. I believe that's a 4-channel amp so you should be able to bridge each set of channels (front/rear) into each sub. [/QUOTE]
