No. His subs are wired to 2 ohm. He bought a package deal that comes with 2 single 4ohm coil subs, the enclosure and an amp that cannot push the subs. Everybody that buys this package deal has to crank their gain all the way up to hear a little bit of bass. He needs a bigger amp. MTX and Alpine both do this crap (sell a package deal with a weak amp). I dont understand the reasoning behind it.

He's pushing the amp too hard.

Yeah i feel as if the amp is getting so hot, im pushing so much power to it so it kicks off...Just right now my budget is tight and i love bass but im sick of this thing cuttin down on me:/
