So I had a 300 watt rms (bridged) kenwood amp powering my 400 rms audiobahn aw1251t 12" sub. I decided to get a new amplifier (audiobahn a8002t) and run the sub off only one channel. So I do this and now the sub sounds MUCH quiter. The sub has dual 4 ohm voice coils and is wired to play at 2 ohms. The amp puts out 400 rms per channel at 2 ohms. Anybody know what the problem could be?

 

A. could be phasing

B. gains?

C. no offense, but Audiobahn isn't the best equiptment out there.

D. Somehow "miswired"

 

Very possible, did you confirm the impedance?

Try turning em up

At least I wasnt the first to say it but

could be the case...
