Since im running these off of a phoenix gold 600TI amp (MONO) does it make much of a difference? My subs are in a sealed box with one terminal. im assuming they are wired in series, theyre DVC. im just wondering if this is why theyre not sounding like i want them too.. any advice?? thanks so much

Hi there,

Not to bust your bubble, but I don't think Alma is a JL Audio Advisor. As for your question, Are the subs Dual 2 or 4-Ohm Voice Coils? I think that amp runs best at 4-Ohm Mono but can run at 2-Ohm Mono. If they are Dual 2-Ohm, it would be best to series the voice coils on the subs and run the subs paralleled to the amp. That would give you a 2-Ohm Load (Correct me if I'm wrong). If they are Dual 4-Ohm, I would do the same thing. This should give you a 4-Ohm Mono Load. Hopefully this helps, but probably not =) If they still don't sound to your likes...get rid of them and get something good! =) J/k

Later
