[QUOTE="DFW40, post: 550030, member: 556468"] Those subs come in dual 4 ohm only. You probably have them running total @1ohm which is rather low for that amp and that is why the light is coming on. You need to first wire the subs like diagram "A" on page 3 of the link below which is called series. The output of the amp has two positives and two negatives (see the second link). You will run one set of speaker wire from the + and - of the amp to one sub then you just do the same thing and run the other set of speaker wire from the other + and - on the amp to the other sub (just like hooking up two speakers on a home stereo). This will give you a 4ohm load which is within the amps range to produce full power.
