[QUOTE="Jepalan, post: 8141984, member: 655519"] The OP already said he was bridging the amp into the two subs in parallel. This is not good. This amp is not 2-ohm rated when bridged. by wiring two x 4 ohm subs in parallel you have created a 2-ohm load on the bridged amp output. Your amp is only spec'd for a 4-ohm load when bridged, so you are likely overloading it this way and could blow the amp. Your subs cannot be wired in an ideal way for this amp. The most foolproof way to run them is to wire them in series to the bridged output. The 8-ohm load wont get as loud but the amp wont blow either [/QUOTE]
