[QUOTE="Caleb Dueck, post: 209199, member: 60"] If all 4 DBH subs are touching (say, 45" x 90" mouth) and powered by 2 X4 amps - yes, they should be better. One DBH per channel on an X4 is underpowering it, while one driver of a DBH per channel is less-underpowered. You will need more than wall power (120V 20A) for the X4 to shine. While it is better than most brands when driving 2 ohm loads - it is still current limited, especially on bass guitar and other sustained sounds. Only the Danley DNA 20K4 (from memory) can handle 2 ohm loads on subwoofers, IF the speaker cables are very short and thick, and IF there is solid power coming in. Since you have an X4 - I would get another, give them 208V or 240V power, and use the shortest 10 or 11 gauge speaker cables possible. Make sure you get good limiter settings, especially the True Power limiter. HP filter around 35Hz. The DBH is a great sub, but I may have roasted a few drivers over the years, and they aren't cheap... [/QUOTE]
