[QUOTE="LM950, post: 8199248, member: 654711"] Turns out my LOC were out of phase, I fixed that and still replaced the amp because 1 side still wasn't working. But now I'm confused again. On my sub box there are 2 input terminals. It doesn't matter which terminals I hook the speaker wires up to from my amp, both subs play. According to all of the wiring diagrams I have seen two 4 ohm DVC subs should only be hooked up to one terminal. I don't have time to take the speakers out of the box today and see how they are wired up but in order to hook both terminals up to my new mono amp and get high output I have to wire it like this. Amp Input = - - + + Speakers wired into amp = - + - + So they both play no matter what terminal is active, but seem to get a bit louder when connected the way I have em. I guess my new question would be what ohm load is my amp even seeing right now since they don't seem to be hooked up the traditional way. I'm assuming a 2 ohm load, 4 ohms each terminal. [/QUOTE]
