I would doubt your audio shop wired it wrong, but there is always the chance. DVC can come in more than just 4ohm coils, and if there was a mistake about what the coils were, could be wired wrong. If they somehow thought it was a 2ohm DVC, wired in series for 4 ohm, but it was actually a 4ohm DVC... just saying. I know that sub only comes in 4ohm, but just providing example. The reason you don't have that problem with the JL "slash" series amps, is because the power supply will adjust to always put it's rated power out, weather it's 2 ohms or 4. Your current amp puts out RMS power dependant on the load. That amp/sub combo is pretty ideal.

Wiring it at 8 ohms would probably cause damage to the amp before the sub though - unless it was too quiet and the op clipped it. So many variables...
How was the gain set?
