I bought this last week cuz they were on sale, but ends up my crappy amp is extremely underpowered so i cant use it.

50 dollars FIRM. I payed 58 with shipping

 

Haha, How is your amp underpowered for a e8?

 

200/400 WRms for that sub. What kind of amp do you have cause that's extremely low.

 

i have an amp that will only do 150 on 4ohms. I accidentally ordered the 2ohm dvc i meant to get the 4ohm dvc.

 

A well then you're over powering. Not under powering.

 

no I'm underpowered. The driver is dual 2ohms wired to 4ohms will only get 150. I wanted to get the dual 4ohm so i could wire it 2ohms and get 300watts.

edit: its wired in series to get the 4ohm load. I dont want to wire it in parallel cuz my amp isnt rated for 1ohm operation.

 

Just for the record 150w isn't really that big of a deal and if the amp is of decent quality it is probably under rated anyway.

 

What kind of amp is it?

 

exactly, thats why its so easy for the amp to start clipping.

its a mtx jh300. Bought it ages ago. I'm a college student and cant afford anything better at the moment

 

I guess I fail to see the logic. Set the gain so it doesn't clip and don't use bass boost, etc.

 

I've already tried everything. I can't even tell if the subwoofer is even on when i set the gain before it starts to clip. I even have it in the recommended box size. I swapped it with another 8" sub that came off of a broken ht sub and its playing without clipping at any gain level.
