The only difference in new setup is the box is not ported and a bit smaller then my kickers are in. Not sure what the specs are on the phoenix gold speakers. Like I said they are 13 years old and are difficult to find online.

My amp puts out 750 x 1 @ 2 ohms and 375 x 1@ 4 ohms.. If I have (2) 12" woofers that are 4 ohms, are the speakers being sent 750 @ 2 ohms because of the way there wired or 375 @ 4 ohms?

If you have 2 woofers being used its either going to be a 2 ohm load or an 8 ohm load if they are single voicecoils, use your multimeter and see what your Phoenix Gold set up is at and you'll be able to figure out very quickly what your power output is.
