I don't have a volt meter to test it with. I pulled the sub out of the box too... THREE times, to check the wiring and make sure it was exactly how the Diagram on Fosgates site says to have it. I even tired switching the wires so that the posotive came off a different VC and whatnot, there is no way I screwed up the wiring, it's not rocket science going posotive to posotive, negative to negative. My buddy even looked at it and it's wired the exact same way his CompVR is wired for a 2 ohm load. But, I no longer have the sub, I shipped it back.

The point was that you were recommended to disconnect one of the voice coils which would eliminate any human error.  As of right now we can't be as sure as you are that they weren't wired out of phase as most of us have made the same mistake in the past.   And what you describe almost guarantees that this was the problem.  The only other possibility  I see is maybe the magnet wasn't magnetized.  Although this is rather unlikely.

before u mailed it out...should have went to circuit city or best buy and got it checked on a multi meter to check the ohms...or at least popped it to see if it moves...
