[QUOTE="Kb1688, post: 8795867, member: 686229"] So on my previous posts I explained how I blew my subs and we figured out I had them at .5 ohms in the amp which overpowered them and blew them because they were only 2 ohm subs. So now I ordered the 4 ohm subs set to be here Friday. I have a 2000.1 D monoblock 2000 watt ct sounds amp with 2 4 ohm ozone 10" ct sounds subs. Below is a picture of how I plan to wire them except my amp has 4 inputs for the speaker wire and i have seperate spaces in my box for the subs so i wont be wiring them together, just each one to the amp separately running parallel pos to pos neg to neg and box connector pos to one voice coil and negative to other voice coil. So hoping that that is right and i will have 1 ohm going to the amp, I'm now wondering how I should tune the amp and what to set the equalizer to. A ct sounds rep told me to turn bass boost off and set gain to almost 0. However, are there any videos on the other 3 controls lpf, freq, and subsonic?
