A little help..

Just wondering if this sounds about right. Im running 2 JL audio 10 inch subs which are 10W3 DVC 6ohm subs. I wired them in parallel in order to recieve 1 ohm total from them . When i checked with a multimeter it read 1.8 ohms... is that too high or good? Also the subs are 300w RMS each but have a peak power of 600w each. Im running them off of a 1000w @1 ohm highfonics Mono amp. Do i need to touch the settings on that at all before i hook it up? I also noticed that on my head unit i dont have a remote wire port although on the aftermarket HU harness it has a wire in the HARNESS labeled remote 12+. Do i need to splice into that?

your subs are wired to 1.5 ohms two 6ohm subs wired in parallel gives you 1.5 6ohms 6ohms =3 3ohms 3ohms =1.5most hifi amps dont do rated so if gains backed off you should be good do you have a aftermarket headunit?

Well one question at a time... Never look at peak ratings they are useless... You will need to set your gain and other settings on the amp correctly...

Yeah its a JVC headunit. I understand the parallel theory. I just wanted to know was 1.8 ohms a little on the high side? Also which knob is gain? I dont see that on my amp. I see something labeled "level" which looks like it controls voltage or something

most subs read a little higher on ohms its fine the level is your gain check sticky how to set gains with a DMM and yes 12remote is your remote turn on that turns amp on and off hope that helps

Most subs read higher its fine your level is your gain and yes 12 volt remote wire is your remote turn on for amp
