[QUOTE="MrBade, post: 7943145, member: 646396"] The amp is running two of the older type-r's at 2 ohms right now. Thanks for the iphone tip blactimus, I'll definitely be able to make that happen. At first I had one of the newer type-r's in a ported box in the trunk of my 01' Mazda Millenia. But I'm aware of why I blew it. At the time I wasn't aware that you could blow a sub by underpowering it. I got it replaced with another and got the fosgate amp and everything was running fine for quite some time. However, I came across the Help 101 topic here about using a DMM and figured I'd try a CD. Not having much clarity beyond "CD" I thought I could just use the one already in there but the reading was bouncing all over the place. So I knew I was missing a step/piece of equipment or something. I tried turning most of the settings on the deck to a sort of neutral state and turned everything on the amp all the way down. Is it possible that my fooling around with the settings on the deck that I didn't/still don't understand could've causeed it? Could the low pass filter on the amp cause it? Maybe I turned that up to high? What should I have it on anyway? [/QUOTE]
