Poor bass on my new sub+amp

Okay, so my assumption was correct. Each channel of your amplifier is seeing 1 ohm. I can't be 100% sure of what will happen, but I wouldn't run an amplifier at 1 ohm stereo that is only rated down to 2 ohms stereo. I'm not going to say outright that there is a fire risk, but there is a risk of damaging your amp prematurely. And a higher risk of clipping it too, causing damage.

My suggestion would be to run one sub off of each channel. You won't get quite as much power, but it will be cleaner and better for the amp.

It's up to you what you want to do though.

so my Lanzar is seeing 1 ohm each channel?

Do not run that amp at a 1ohm mono load. Take it out of the bridged confuration and put one pos. and one neg. per channel.

I just put it in guys.

OMG IT SOUNDS AWESOME. OK I understand now how much difference the little air gap makes!! I'm extremely happy! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Thank you all so much for the help. After all the problems and frustrations, it sounds EXACTLY how I want it. It has by far enough power for what I want and sounds awesome.

Very happy with the performance with the small amount of money it cost.

I'll take some pictures when I have everything wired nicely as right now its all messy.

sorry about the mixup with the ohmage, hope you hooked it up right.glad to hear that its sounding good though

Is each sub 4 ohms?

Are your subs in parallel, making 2 ohms?

Is this load on your 2 channel bridged amp?

If yes to all 3 questions, then the answer is yes.

Each channel of your amp is seeing 1 ohm, if you have a 2 ohm load on the amp when it is bridged.

I thought this was common knowledge...

He is not running a 1 ohm mono load. He is, or at least was cause I don't know if he changed it, running a 2 ohm mono load. Which is a 1 ohm stereo load.

Yes I put it back to the original configuration that I had which was each sub to its own channel.
