I never really saw a good review on that gear, but its quite possible that you have the positive and negative reversed on one of the drivers. Try disconecting one of the subs and see if the volume increases.

mofo subs are power accoustic and a true 3000 watts will start them on fire. you get what you buy a china woofer or tialand.

for this said 3000 watt amplifier, are you providing the proper voltage and current it will demand....what type of fuses does the amp have, and what type of alternator, battery and other upgrades do you have to power it?
