with a sealed box, subs wired at 2 ohms.
80 amp AGU fuse and the fuse on the amp is three 25 amps so no problem with the fuses there.
if i turn the headunits volume up to about 30 they start getting louder but thats way to high for the speakers and they distort. the speakers in the car are 4 ohm. and they are 4x6 with two tweeters in front.
93 nissan pathfinder, enclousure is sealed and in the trunk facing the back
i checked all the settings on the headunit and the amp, i turned all of them up all of the way and they still arent even hitting nearly as hard as i had them, they are very quiet and should not be this quiet as i have had installed them in a different car and have had them actually running where you could hear them, you can barely hear them and they are moving a little bit.

Sounds like you may have one sub out of phase with the other. Check your wiring. ------------- Support the12volt.com

i thought the same thing too until i read where he said they are barely moving. do you still think it could be they are out of phase?

he means the way they are wired together in the box. not how they are hooked to the amp

yes, in the box they are fine and to the amp they are fine.

Then either your speakers are blown or the amp is blown - or perhaps just set up incorrectly. How is your LP filter set and did you set the gain correctly? ------------- Support the12volt.com
