[QUOTE="trikosuave, post: 1096908, member: 560588"] check out [URL="http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiringwizard.asp?WoofQty=2+woofers&WoofImp=Dual+Voice+Coil+-+4+ohms+x+2&image.x=17&image.y=6"]http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiringwizard.asp?WoofQty=2+woofers&WoofImp=Dual+Voice+Coil+-+4+ohms+x+2&image.x=17&image.y=6[/URL] thats 2 dvc 4ohm subs and can be wired in a 1 ohm or 4 ohm setup. many amps are not 1 ohm stable and will go to protection mode after a certain volume like you are experiencing. my suggestion is to set it up to the 4 ohm load as shown in the picture and bridge the amp. 4-ohm bridged on a stereo amp and 2 ohm unbridged to a mon amp are usually the standards. L R - + + - ^ to ^ would be your best bet. try it out that will get the most of your 2 channel amp. if you ahve a mono amp that is not 1 ohm stable you can only run it at 4 ohms and will only get half the avail power...... let me know if that helps....
