[QUOTE="LoneRanger, post: 38086, member: 540903"] First off, and remember, this is just my opinion, but i hate kenwood's amps. Especially when it comes to subwoofers. If you wanna power those *****es right, get a class d mono-block amplifier. The reason it sounds bad in the sealed box is probably because the box is either too big or too small. The reason that it sounds bad in your bandpass is probably due to either improper tuning or again, incorrect space. The reason your amp keeps shutting off is pretty self evident. That amp is made for no less than 4ohm loads. Yes, it will work at 2ohms, but pretty soon the amp gets too hot and shuts itself off. Your idea for either changing the ohm load is on the right track. That amp won't work right unless you get the load up to four ohms.....I'd also consider buying/building a new box while you're at it. [/QUOTE]
