well there's your problem...

agreed. Lanzar is so overrated it's comical. You can expect roughly 1000W RMS out of that amp. The only way that amp would make 4000W would be with a square wave seconds before it melted.

$.25 per watt is about as cheap as you can find.

save me the cheap crap i know what i paid for is what i get. nobody has yet to answer my question all i wanna know is should they be bridged to the amp or not cuz my subs voice coil burned out. im getting new subs and i want to know if they should be bridged or wired into each channel i dnt want this to happen again. if i bridge them does that mean im putting out 4000w to each speaker? i know its not 4000w but all i want is for less than 2000w per sub cuz i dnt want to burn these out again. so how should i wire them bridged at 1x4000w or 2 channels 2x2000w? can some one just answer the questions and not tell me how cheap my subs are

1x4000w or 2 channels 2x2000w

thats the same thing. either way your speakers see "2000" watts (really about 3-400). Those subs are also overrated for power handling, i blew one 100w under rms.

IN answer to your question, its the exact same thing.

And I know because that stuff is so shitty you probly had gain and bass all the way up. Turn it down to optimal levels. Distortion aint bumpin

whats the gain on the amp could u tell me from off this amp manual http://lanzar.com/manuals/MXA232-242-252-282-412-422.pdf
