hook rcas from the outputs on one amp to the imputs on another, then switch the one with the rcas coming out to master, and the other to slave

Not saying you cant do it bro, youre actually doing a good job. I just am intrigued by the fact that all black people like the same cars. I get tired of seeing them

i would go with only ported in open trunks like suv's and so on to get maximum air flow throughout the car sealed is tha way to go in a sealed trunk. in cadillacs and other luxery cars yes you need more power since they have thick cushions and the cars are more solid.

okay everyone here is a quick update for everyone. i finally had completed my project. i must say that hifonic amps are the real deal. i have blown one of the voice coils in all four speakers already. it beat really really really really hard for about a week then all of a sudden one day they sounded ******. after checkin them i can confirm. so im basically out of 1000 dollars. plus i had to buy four more type xs. they should be here next week. what the hell did i do wrong. i kno everything was hooked up correctly. they are 4 ohm subs ran parallel/parallel to produce a 1ohmm load. my amps are 1 ohm stable so no problems there. the amps werent even turned up half way. so what did i do wrong for these subs to blow. could it be distortion or maybe clipping? can anyone tell me how to set my amps just right to cut back on this? also i have 4 type xs all with one blown voice coil they still play great just one voice coil blown. ill sell them all for 200 dollars anyone interested just hit me up jawgaboi05@gmail.com and if anyone has any ideas on what i did wrong please reply

You probably have the amp turned into full blown clipping, which fried the voice coil in a hurry

this happens sometimes when running sealed you try to get as much as you can from it then before you know it your clipping

So you have (4) DVC2 ohm subs connected in parallel for a 1 ohm load, correct? Someone can correct me if I'm wrong since I'm not very familiar with strapping amps, but if you strap two 1 ohm stable amps, doesn't that leave you with 2 ohms stable overall? In which case you were running below that. If this is correct, you'd be wise to pick up DVC4 ohm woofers this time around.

Whats up J.R. !!! -- When your ready to get that car right. Bring it back to your home town (Columbus,GA). And let me work some magic on it. A-1 PAWN MAN

wussup everyone sorry for the long delay here is a update. so after buying 4 more type xs i came to the conclusion that my amps are shot. thanks to my buddy A1 pawnman i was able to have the amps tested and sure enough they are done. apparently the problem came from me wiring the subs to produce a 1 ohm load. the amps couldnt handle the load. so now im stuck with 8 subs and not one amp to power them. anyone looking to buy some subs let me know. these are brand new still in the box. i would send them back but i dont want to pay shipping costs just to have a store credit. just too much of a pain. im also willing to trade someone all four type xs for a amp or amps strong enough to power the other 4 subs i have. anyone interested just hit me up.
