[QUOTE="Water Bear, post: 8601603, member: 673826"] Let me just jump in here... [USER=673832]@FriendlyStalker[/USER], what you need to do is get a digital multi meter (or borrow one from a friend, or use a loaner at Auto Zone or similar) and hook it up to the inputs to your subs. Remove the speaker wire from the amp to the sub box, then hook up the DMM to the sub box. Set the DMM to check resistance (ask whoever you borrowed it from to set it for you). It sounds like your subs are wired to achieve ~2 ohm of impedance. If your subs are fried, you should expect to see much higher than normal impedance. What these guys are trying to say is that you probably overheated and damaged the inductors (aka voice coils) on your subs. When the amp gain is too high, long story short, too much current can pass through your equipment and over heat it. Maybe you did, maybe you didn't. Only way to tell is to test the subs. Also, check your fuses. [/QUOTE]
