Right Setup?

[Shawn 4 10+ year member]

Hey, my friend just purchased 2 audiobahn subs (800 watts apeice) and put them in a sealed box. He has them running of an audiobahn a8002t amp. Well i heard it the other day and it didnt sound right. You could hear the magnets way too much and the surround wasnt really moving a whole lot. I was wondering if somethin may be hooked up wrong or if anyone would know what it is?

Hear the magnet? What the hell does that mean?...

The mistake was buying Audiobahn speakers, and amp.

If they are 800w RMS each, then he is underpowering them each by 400w, so that could be the reason for the low excursion. Or it could be that they are wired incorrectly. Are they wired in series or parrelell, and what is the voice coil configuration on each sub?.
