Ok, I got a new box, got rid of the bandpass and went ported. While doing so, I found out the specs on my sub are different. 8 Ohms a piece, and the amp is 4 Ohms bridged. Would it be best to hook them up parallel as bridged?

Ok, I did that, and it sounds virtually the same as it did 2 channel canfig in series. that should be round 120 some watts, it should be round 370 bridged. Any thoughts?

Ok, I set my gains almost all the way down (or up, which ever give it the louder sound), Still doesnt kick much better even tho I should be pushin atleast 1 1/2 the watts, I also get no clipping from what I could tell, which is good. But if I turned it all the way down (or up) it started to distort a lil bit. Any other reason why i wouldnt hit the kicks I should be getting?

distort=clipping.Would it sounding a bit higher pitched be that? Any ideas as to why its not kicking more after I bridged it?

Hope you figured everything out. How does it KICK?What do you mean how does it kick? By kick I mean how hard the bass hits, loudness and such. And when I went from 2 channels to 1 channel bridged, I didn't notice any increase in the subs. Anyone have any ideas?
