no idea. but my esoterics behave similarly :)

BTW I finished fabricating mounts for my amp and speaker and decided to hook up the 4ohm 100wrms woofers to the stock amp just to hear what it sounds like, and it did not work out well. Not nearly enough power. The stock 2ohm sound way better. Louder and deeper bass. The 4ohm sounded like i was playing the midrange and none of the bass. Super clear tho.

I'm kinda surprised with the sound of the stock woofers without the door panel mounted. I may try putting this factory speaker in an enclosure and see how she likes 200w of power.

I guess I underestimated how easily I'm pleased with minor only upgrades lol. too late
