The difference in sound compared to the series set up I was running is impressive...even one sub running in parallel at 4 ohms without being secured to my box was better.
I have the subs in a store bought ported box which I am ok with, but here is the problem.
I know this setup should really pound but when turned too loud, it bottoms out and MY GOD!!! it's annoying. It sounds horrible!!!!!
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? Any ideas would be great.

Well, I thought the VC config on the w6v2's was weird. So you have 2 12's now? And they are in a pre-fab store box? Sealed?
In all honesty, you can give them plenty more power! That's one thing. But to make the most out of your current install, go with a custom ported enclosure, about 4 cubes NET @29hz for more output, and the ability to hit the lows better. If need, I design custom ported boxes and lay them out for you including a cut-sheet. So if you're interested, PM me. peace
