i bet clipping is the problem. but the main problem is that you want them to hit harder than they are by wanting this you are causing the amp to clip.

So by having 1 sub 4 ohms and 1 sub 8 ohms this has no effect? The reason I got the mtx subs out was because they were the bottom line speakers and the built in am was inside the box. The amp consisted of a pc board with components on it which was about 2" by 2". I was very disapointed with this. My factory speakers pushed harder than this. I decided to put 2 RF 10" punch speakers and to kick up the amp. Asuming I would see a little more out of it. This amp pushed 3 10" punches in my girlfriends car more than I needed. It was incrediable. This is why I thought that by having two speakers with different ohms may be holding me back.

Well you guys were a big help. I guess its time to get "CUSTOM".

it may have an effect, but i don't think it's the main thing. do some more research on here, these guys are a wealth of information. what kind of car did your girlfriend have? take into account everything, the way the subs are firing, the volume of the box...etc.

The main effect is the 4-ohm sub will utilize more power than the 8-ohm sub and will become the main one you hear. In effrect, you are listening to one sub. Perhaps this is why you may be overdriving it.
