as most of u know, my USX4065 kicked the bucket and is continuing to be destroyed, before it died i was using it as my sub amp (bridged from 4ch to 2ch) specs said it puts out 65w RMS x 4 or about 150w rms x 2 all @ 4ohms and 12.9 volts (car ran at about 14V)...so until i get a better amp i tossed in a little jensen i found in the corner of my room, rated @ 2 x 65 RMS @ 4 ohms and 2 x 80 @ 2 ohms...i bridged it and wired the two rockford HE SVC subs in 2 ohms...the little piddly jensen makes the rockfords hit twice as hard as the USX ever did, even with wads less power going to them...any ideas why this is?

thanks
