It is dual 1 ohm (actually .8 and .9) run in series, I don't remember exactly but I put all the best options on it. I don't have a DMM :/

Hello. I recently ordered a Q model 12". After about a 2 month wait I finally received it. First off the packaging was damaged when it arrived, the foam on the bottom had broken and the sub was slightly sideways in the box. I ignored this because I figured the sub was probably fine, it didnt appear to be too sideways in the box. I had the sub installed today in a 1.7 cu. ft. sealed box, and I must say I am very disappointed. It literally seems as if there is almost no output coming out of the sub (running at 2 ohms on a Sundown Audio 2500, so about 1200 watts RMS amp). I understand it needs to break in, but I mean that the volume is literally almost on off it seems. Also, I'm not sure what this could be, but I've heard it before in a sub with a blown voice coil, but if you turn the gain up enough to where the sub actually starts producing volume, and only flexes about an inch, it starts to make this sound as if it is bottoming out. It should't be bottoming out when it is only flexing this much, so I don't know if one of the voice coils is damaged and perhaps that is why it is also not very loud. The installer is Lakeside Audio in Montgomery, TX, and they have won top 100 installers in the country a few times. I have done several systems with them before and their quality is top notch. I don't know what to do at this point. I had a 10" kicker (really low model, not even L5) on about 200 watts in a tiny sealed box that came with the car, and this thing is barely louder than it. Help please.
