My original SYstems is not the greeatest but it BUMBpz

anyways i bought two 12" volfenhag subs ZX-4712DVX

and just switched the subs. it sounded weak. no thump at all. i mean it works. but does not have that deep rolling bass. I mean its weak.

they are brand new.. un opened box till now.

since they are dual voice coil do i have to wire it differently?

It is possible you have one voice coil out of phase.

You say these subs are dual voice coil. How are the SECOND voice coils connected?

I think thats your problem is that you need to wire the second voice coils....

what are the speakers ohm rating? and the amp what is it stable at ?

If we learn from each success and

each failure, then we can improve ourselves
