Amplifier/Subwoofer trouble

[squilko]

I have 2 10" boss audio phantom series subs with dual voice coils. I have 3 different amps, all being 2 channel. I can hook each one up without any issues and i get a green power light, which is good. Whenever i hook up the subs the amp will go into protection mode.

I have checked all amplifier wiring and everything is fine. I have also taken the subs from the box and checked the wiring on them as well. I assured they are wired to the correct impedence and that all wiring is secure, but i still have this problem. I just cant seem to figure out what is wrong, any help???

What's the impedance on the coils? What impedance are you wiring to? Model numbers of the 3 amps you are trying to use?

The subs are dual 4 ohm voice coils. I currently have them wired to 4 ohms. I have a FUSION pp-am12002, BOSS chaos eXXtreme cx250, DC-200 depth charge by FULTRON

I would prefer to have the fusion hooked up

What size power and ground and how are your amp settings? I find it hard to believe that you're having trouble with 3 amps. I'd say you have a wiring issue(i.e. power/ground wires, most likely ground wire) if you're doing direct swaps and having trouble.

power and ground are 2 guage and even when i turn all amp settings down it still does it
