play only one woofer at a time.  Does the level of bass increase with just one speaker connected? That amp is not capable of driving a 1 ohm load.  Do you have the speakers wired in series?

i may be wrong, but isn't the V3 W3 rated at 300W? The V2 was rated at 400W. i could be wrong.

He has 2 woofers.  I am not totally familiar with the line, but I do know that they make more than one size speaker with that labeling.   So I can not even tell if he has 8s 10s 12s or 13.5s.

you are right, i don't know why i just assumed they were 12". LOL.
So yeah need more info from this guy to figure it all out.
The phase of the woofers is the most likely cause though. . .
