D New member Username: Iamdisturbed Vc, Nd Post Number: 6 Registered: Dec-04	Posted on Wednesday, June 01, 2005 - 23:10 GMT ok i got a friend with a 12 inch L7 in a ported box and a 760 watt amp. heres the problem, its not loud at all. ive heard 6by9s louder then this sub. i wired the sub into 8 ohms, i have a feeling thats why its not loud at all, could one of u tell me how to wire it into 4 ohms or 2 ohms maybe. the amp is also a pioneer, could that be a reason for it not being loud. but i need help here cuz my one 10 at my house is louder then this thing, please people. thanks

That pioneer 760 watt amp is the max watts. When bridged at 4ohms they say it will do 380. The one I checked only did 200 when bridged at 4ohms. So at 8ohms you have no power to push the sub.
