 Here a thought. Is your amp 2 ohm stable. If it's not and you have a 4 ohm dvc the guys at the shop may have wired to 8 ohms. I think that would make a difference in output.

This enclosure is only available with a 2 ohm dvc sub. He will therefore either have it wired into 1 ohm or 4 ohms and it is likely it is wired into 4 ohms because it is wired this way at the factory. I think he really just needs a bigger amp.

Last question: my amp now is running at 4ohms. If the sub was wired for 2ohms or 8ohms what would happen? Would any sound come out? If the sub is currently working with the 40hm mono amp does that mean its definitly wired for a 4ohm load?

thx

IT should be wired for 4 ohms right now. If you wired it for 8 ohms you would get even less power and if you wired it for 2 ohms your amp would probobly go into protection mode and not give you any sound. To make sure your sub is wired for 4 ohms take it out of the enclosure and see if the voice coils are connect like this: sub, amp, head unit? - Page 2 - Last Post -- posted image.

I just realized you can't wire your sub for 2 or 8 ohms unless its a 4 ohm DVC sub. Your only other option would be 1 ohm.

That's where I got confused. Subarb said 4 ohmdvc originaly and meant 2 ohm. A 2 ohm dvc means it's probably wired to 4 ohms. Personally I wouldn't think it's the amp. I have enough experiences to know how important the input power is.
