for starters - bass eq all the way up is never a good thing, and with that kind of power could easily lead to damaged subs.

Do you know if they're wired for 4 ohms or 1?

4 ohms wouldn't get you much power (~400 per sub), and 1 ohm would severely stress your electrical system.

What type of box are they in? What size?

You can wire @ 4 ohm or 2 ohm.

Whats your electrical like?

I' am just throwing a guess out there.. I was under the assumption you could wire those speakers o four ohm or 1 ohm yes? Perhaps they are wired at 4 ohm?

thanks for your quick replay , ohms !!!!thats where i get confuse, i have them wire each speaker to each channel of the amp i think thats 4 ohms load right ,can you guys help me to wire them for best bass, cloud 77 in the wire diagram link i only see one channel connection , my amp is two channels ,im using 4 gauge cable from the battery and 4 gauge for the groud,

so you guys think i should wire them at 2 ohms for best bass , im using a regular box for the subs they came with this box its a Q BOMB 38" wide by 17.5" front to back by 16.5 tall it feels like plastic material not wood

That amp is a monoblock. There are 2 sets of leads from it for easier wiring, they are parallel inside. Look at your woofers as see how they are wired. To get a 1 ohm load, the +and -from the amp goes to + and - on the first voice coil. From there wire the + of voice coil 1 to + of voice coil 2 and the - from vc1 to - of vc2. Repeat the same process for sub 2 and run sub 2 + and - back to the amp's other lead.

Turn the bass eq all the way down though. Look up setting your gains at the12volt.com. Is it a ported box?

im trying to post a picture but i cant,my subs has 4 terminals 2 + and 2 - they are connected together, there is a wire inside the box that connects the 2+ terminals on the sub then it goes to the amp same with the 2- terminals ,each speaker is using one channel on the amp,how do you post pics?

I'm on my phone atm so i can't. Go to sonicelectronix.com and look up wiring diagrams. You want the parallel/parallel diagram.

any diagram that gets me the best bass possible thanks

That will get you to 1 ohm, but that's only the beginning for the "best bass".

2400w is actually a LOT more power than those subs need, also a LOT more power than your stock alternator can safely handle.

having the right box for your subs has a big effect on output as well.

You have a lot going on here. You might just want to take it to a professional and see if they can get you straightened out.
