I'm surprised the amp works at all with that. you need two single coil 4 ohm subs, or two 2+2ohm DVC models.. or one 4+4ohm DVC sub. otherwise at best you'll get a 4 ohm load with coils in series, subs in parallel on the amp, and if the amp delivers 500w x 1 @ 2 ohms, each sub is going to get a clean 125 watts. |
