    My head unit plays, but no sound out of speakers.

    Do you get sound from your subs? If your speakers are connected to the deck and they're not getting any sound then it's likely that the internal amp of the deck is blown. Which means you may need an external amp to power your speakers or get a new deck. If you're lucky you're deck may have an...

    My Kappas sound AWFUL

    which kappa are these?? Maybe they need to "break in" some more. Move the tweeters to another location and mount them off axis. EQ down at around 1k-6khz. Also try swapping out the kappa tweeters with the reference tweeters. If nothing else works, sell them and get something else.

    Two subs or one

    Yea, it will work. You can wire the P3SD210 at 4 and the P3SD410 at 2 and run them in series=6ohm. or P3SD210 at 1 and the P3SD410 at 2 and run them in series for 3ohm load. or P3SD210@4 and the P3SD410@8 and run them in parallel=2.667. The problem is the sub with the most impedance will be...
