I have two kickers L5 with a phoenix gold octane R 2x 250 watts rms bridged. One of my subwoofer is more powerfull than the other one. The gain of the amplifier is the same for both of them. The balance of my radio is at 0.

can you help me?

How did you wire the subs? Did you run both voice coils on each sub or just one? Is your + and negatives correct? Did you run them off the stock deck with an in line converter or use aftermarket deck with RCA's from a sub preout? Also, check each coil on each sub for proper ohm rating. Even if they are new you could have got a bad one. The amp could have a problem on one channel. A little more details would help all here.. posted_image

I wired my subss in a 4ohm load, I have an alpine mp3 player with subb output. I know one voice coil one the subwoofer is broke but I use the other one. Maybe that's why it doesn't play as loud. I am not sure...

Oh yeah.

So you have a DVC and only have one coil connect due to one already being bad?
