Yeah i have a dual voice coil 4 ohmspeaker, and i wired it correctly, positive to positive, negative to negative

Measure each coil. Are they exactly 4 ohms? If not, you are finding out the difference between Resistance and impedance. Enjoy.

disconnect the sub, set it down on a flat surface and check each coil individually. if you are wiring it correctly theres a good chance one of the coils could be bad.

flat surface is key

I was kind of figuring one of the coils was bad, something i didnt want to hear //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif when i recieved the sub i noticed it was only wired on one coil. Well i guess i wont be getting those 2 ohms from my mojo //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
