[QUOTE="lamontjersey, post: 113948, member: 546121"] are you sure you dont have the subs in series by mistake, that could cause the amps to put out much less power. example, a amplifier will put the advertised power into one 4ohm speaker, but if you put it in series, it will see a 8 ohm load, which will drastically reduce power, and to top it off, that lower power will divide equally into each sub which will reduce it even more.... or perhaps the broken sub is shorted out, that would cause all current and therefore power to go into that shorted sub, and it will also damage your amp.
