Alright, finally got around to installing them tonight.
First and foremost, Ryan wired each sub in the box in Series, so each speaker line was at 8. I then wired them in parallel down to 4 ohms.
The amplifier in question is a Directed 1500d. Subsonfic filter on, no phase shift, set right about 90-100 Hz cutoff. Hardly touched the gain today, but just enough to get a little power going to them for the initial break-in(will adjust in a few days of driving, Massive recommends a 2 hour break-in period, I usually do longer).
I have been running around sub-less for about 1 month now, so I could instantly tell the low-end difference. SQ sounds excellet, and reproduces the low nice suprisingly nicely!
Anywho, I will update in a few days with a DMM adjusted gain after the break-in period.
I will have to say though, I think these subs would do very very well in a ported box. As Ryan was telling me, they would require a pretty large box for the pair of them to be ported, so I may actually do a couple fiberglass corner boxes (Ryan seen my fiberglass 12" box I had for the JL that I did a while back). I finally found a technique to port fiberglass boxes VERY accurately, so with the extra time I have in my evenings, I may go ahead and give it a shot.
