[QUOTE="Chipmunk2k3, post: 7790103, member: 604744"] Sub can not be wired to 6 ohms. It is a dual 1.5 ohm sub. More than likely the sub is wired out of phase which is also causing the amp to clip prematurely. OP take the car back to the shop. You already admitted that you are not experienced with wiring so let them figure it out. you should at least get the same output as the alpine. Have them recheck all the wiring especially the polarity on the wires to the sub. Also at the price you paid they should trouble shoot for free. [/QUOTE]
