[QUOTE="EzekialPhoenix, post: 375786, member: 550969"] I am not 100% certain what you mean by the woofers are wired in stereo to the amp, I am assuming you mean they are not bridged. This means that if you are running the coils in series, your amp is seeing an 8 ohm load, not 4. This means your subs are getting bupkiss for power. You need to wire them differently. Wire them in a series/parallel configuration. Wire the coils in series, like you did, but wire the woofers together in parallel. Then, wire the subs to the amp in "stereo". That will give you a 2 ohm load and you should be bumping in no time. Actually, now that I think about it, your subs are almost wired properly. All you have to do to remedy the situation is run wire from the positive terminal on either coil from one sub, to the positive terminal on either coil on the other sub. Do the same thing with the negative. If you keep your subs wired the way they are, but add those two wires, you will be running them at 2 ohms and giving them 200 watts of pure unadulterated rockford power, and then you be bumpin.
