only 1 sub gets warm?

If that isn't the case (the subs being different coils) it could be the box....one sub could be breathing more efficiencly than the other

New build coming soon. [center][url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/3/sigtoo.jpg/"][img]http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/9541/sigtoo.jpg[/img][/url][/center]

if they are different, like dual 2 and a dual 4, then you will see about .7 ohms if you wired them to 1 ohm like you would if they were both dual 4's.

check to see if they both read 3.8-4.1 per coil, or in parallel 1.8-2.2 per sub. Overall with 2 dual 4's wired down to 1, you should see .9-1.2 or so.

edit: where is the port located, one could be loading differently causing it not to cool as efficiently. pictures?

they are both dual 4's supposedly, havent checked them yet though. ive had them for about 2 months and i have them wired to 4 ohms at the moment. and the box is 3.8cu ft with a 6" aero right in the middle between them. all firing forward into cabin.

If they're 4 ohms...they shouldn't even be getting close to hot...

Wait if their both Dvc-4 ohms, then aren't you wired to either 1ohm or 16ohm. I'm confused on the 4ohm final load.

He has them series and parallel each sub parallel and both subs in series

4ohms/2coils= 2ohmsx2subs=4ohms

Make sense?

One is probably out of phase

Do a pop test by taking + and - out of the amp and connect straight to ur battery

The subs should move out together the same amount, if one moves in or not as much it has a coil out of phase or if it moves the same amount as the other in an opposite direction (inward) that sub is out of phase
