[QUOTE="abqsean, post: 7694238, member: 640607"] they are 4 ohm subs, DVC. I wired each channel directly instead of wiring it as a bridged connection (which is how it was before). It smelled like burning plastic/rubber. So i turned the gain way down, thought i was smelling the new speaker wire that i had put in, and drove for about 5 minutes. Amp cut off, i checked it - blown fuses. I rewired to how it was originally before i had replaced the wiring, replaced the fuses, no audio. Amp lights up like it is outputting a signal but i'm getting nothing from the subs. At this point i'm pretty sure i either fried the subs (the voice coils), shorted the wires, or possibly killed the amp. Just need help on how to narrow it down with a multimeter. [/QUOTE]
