might have wired them back up backwards. usually if that happens the speaker won't get the full potential so i would double check that.

Sounds like you have them wired wrong. These should be wired in parallel due to having dual voice coils. This actually allows them to be used in either Firebird Monsoon that has DVC subs or a Camaro that has a single voice coil 2ohm sub. Using the DVC bazooka sub just means you have to wire them pos to pos and neg to neg like this: http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchf...4-ohm_mono.jpg
This gives you the correct load. That should do it for you.
