[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8850257, member: 674149"] OP, don't bother trying to interpret this fool. Not sure of your skill level, so going to start with the basics. Are you sure those are 4 ohm coils? They make 2 and 4 ohm coils. You can check with a multimeter. How did you set your gain on your amps? That amp isn't exactly a good match for those subs. 600w x 1 @ 4ohm & 1200w x 1 @ 1 ohm. If that was me. I would buy a multimeter if needed ($20 or less for a basic one that will do what you need). Verify the resistance on all 4 coils /ohms. Wire them up to 1 ohm, and use this to wire them around 400w (or a little above). [B]EDIT: ( 400w RMS for each sub. 800w x 1 @ 1ohm. )[/B] On one or two numbers below max on your head unit. (It should give you a little room, which you can verify, but not all head units send out a clean signal at max volume. You may be getting distortion before your amp. That's a general method that as long as your head unit is rated higher, this will get you right where you want to be. [MEDIA=youtube]gg2gl-fz2Qc[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
