[QUOTE="TheJuggla1, post: 6882581, member: 609399"] I ran 2 15" kickers off my 1000 watt mono and was swithig vehicles and wrecked one of he terminals on the box. I set them up in parrelell with series coils and the one terminal i bashed that sub didn't work(as I expected) I checked on the kicker site( subs are 4 ohm) and showed it was ok to run it's coils series off the amp, but I left my one with the broken terminal connected( probably not the best idea but I assumed if there was no connection with the 2 nd sub it would be as just 1 sub was connected) So I cranked it up to see how loud it would be (Amp does 600rms @ 4 ohms sub takes up to 750 so no way I overdrive it) sounded fine(actually a bit louder than having 2) so anyways I put on a heavie bass song and it went into protect mode . They aren't new but not that worn either. I was wondering if the amp just shut off cuz itknew the other sub was connected? do you think it would be ok to try cranking ot up again (with the other sub disconnected) another question not related to this; do you guys think I should switch to 1 15" L7?? Think it works with my current boxes. I was thinking about it to free up room and for more punch [/QUOTE]
