I have 2 12" kfc w3011 subs and a hifonics hfi1000.1d amp. When i connect one sub to the amp its sounds good nice bass but when i connect both of them to the amp there is no bass on neither.

Subs I pulled up are SVC 4ohm subs,so wiring should be like this for a 2 ohm load,would be best

Subwoofer Wiring Diagrams, Two 4 ohm Single Voice Coil (SVC) Speakers

You may have one bad sub if you hook both up as shown,and still having the same issue.You can try ea sub by itself and find which is bad as the amp will go into protect.If you have a DMM,you can check ea subs ohm load on the terminals,anything lower than 3.5 ohms may be an issue with that sub

When i connect both of them to the amp there is no bass only when i connect 1

Both subs work fine by themselves .... Is it possible the amp is not that strong?.... Its a mono amplifier....

By Specs, that amp shouldnt have any issues pushing those subs nicely..Should be POSS to POSS, and Neg to Neg on both subs, and to the amp

You may have one set of wires crossed on one of the subs too?Try crossing one set of wires on one of the subs see if that makes a difference?
