[QUOTE="evilsaint, post: 205955, member: 544887"] I could be wrong, but it sounds like the sub is out of phase, which is caused by it being wired incorrectly to the amp. Check all the wiring before you do anything obviously. I think that a sub being out of phase is specifically caused by the wires being switched at one end, but correct on the other. Example: SVC sub, -sub to +amp and +sub to -amp. Sorry for the horrible wording.... sleep deprivation [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] If the amp allows for bridging at 2ohms mono, try running a wire from the + on each VC to the + on the amp, and a wire from the - on each VC to the - on the amp. This should make the amp see a 2 ohm load, and most likely produce the highest wattage allowable. This might be the equivalent of how it's wired now, but i'm not sure. Yet again... too many stimulants and not enough sleep. [/QUOTE]
