the dmm reads 1.7 ohms at the speaker leads. my expectations were to be able to dance a cell phone on the roof, and maybe get some doorskin flex. It could be the box.
I bought the amp from someone on the board. It works fine, I was just expecting alot more bass.

Turn your gain up that deck is most likely not a high volt preout. Your gain should be atleast 50-70% of the way up. Pending on the output from the deck.

Yeah, the deck puts out 2.5 volts at the rca's. The box is made of 3/4 inch MDF, no seperate chambers, Port in the center, Box dimensions :
35 W x 20H x 13D
Port is 7"H x 4"W x 9"L

Car wiring is in really good shape. Alternator doesnt dip when the bass hits (Well, not much)

I would definately point the subs to the real, and jack the gain to about 70% bro, get back to us after that.
The voltage on the deck is pretty small @ 2.5volt!

ok, little bit late right now to go out pounding, but I will crank it to 70% tomorrow. I would like to point the subs at the rear, but it's about 1 inch too tall that way. I will definitely be upgrading the box soon.
