i have the bass boost to max and filter around 110 and the volume is around a quater of the way up i havent pushed them half way yet and im wondering if im doing something wrong i dont have the speakers brighed cause the amp says i cant do it so im running them off the one right channel not both please help if you can im running this setup for now until i get a mono amp and im very happy with them i was running jensen 10in 1000 watts this is a major upgrade sounds way more powerful i didnt think that 12 be that much better than 10's

db212

yes it was some what helpful the amp is a 4 and 2 ohm amp but only can be briged into a 4 ohm it dose not surport a briged 2ohm load but it dose suport stero 2 ohm load cause there 2 2ohm subs hooked up or i can have 2 4ohm subs running stero but if i want mono i can only hook up 1 4 ohm sub this amp will have to do until i buy me another amp im looking at a 1300 watt class d mono amp for these subs so it will match them 2ohm load it surports.

ps can i hook my other subs up to the other channel to keep the amp from overloading the db212-2 ?? db212-2 is 2 4 ohms speakers wired for a 2 ohm load and i was thinking of hookin my other subs up they are both 4 ohms subs but i know how to wire them into a 2ohm load ?? sense the amp can run the subs that way ! i know i have to adjust the power to make up the difference in the sound atleast until i get the other amp cause its going to be awhile before i can get it thx for the help

You actually made it to the end? You're a better man than me.

Well...I really thought I would find at least one little ","...but no, I guess his keyboard is missing it....
