[QUOTE="d_tek, post: 8724922, member: 681655"] I have them wired as their own circuit themselves (ex- + and - of channel 1 to one sub, + and - of channel 2 to the other sub). They're single voice coil subs. I didn't wire them myself since I bought the subs, amp, and enclosure all from my brother's friend and I didn't know **** about car audio at the time other than that I wanted some subs. Believe me, I'd like to upgrade everything which I was going to do about three years ago but I got scammed out of $900 lol :( . Another thing stopping me is that with my stock alternator I don't know how much more power it can handle without both of my amps constantly kicking into protect mode. I was planning on getting some DC audio level 1 12s (i was going to get dual 4ohm subs, but they also offer dual 2ohms as well and it seems you know more about wiring for impedance than I do, so which do you recommend given my current amp?) Also, if you were to say whether the problem is the amp or subs, are you thinking it is the subs at this point? (if it had to be one or the other). By the way, I wanted to thank you for all the help you given me thus far [/QUOTE]
