Silver Member Username: JayjLouisiana USA Post Number: 389 Registered: May-04 | Howell thats not a good idea running that low. Your lucky its even working at all. If your specs are right then its a 2 channel amp. And the subs are 2 ohm DVC. You need to wire each sub for a 1ohm load. Then hook each sub to its own channel. Because if you keep running the amp that low you are going to burn it up. Heres a link to help with wiring. Good Luck http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/learningcenter/car/subwoofers_wiring.html?subs=1&impedance=DVC2x2 |
