[QUOTE="Based, post: 8558674, member: 660638"] Ok I know that they are not separate channels. But i need something clarified. My friend has 2 DVC 2 ohm subs. And his amp has 2 sets of speaker inputs. What I thought this meant was I could wire each sub down to 1 ohm then put them into each of the speaker inputs and the load would be one ohm. But then his amp started smoking. So I thought it was a ground issue because the ground WAS loose and the wire was hot so we got a better ground location and better bolt to not come loose. I set the gains for him and it seemed to be good. Now that I'm thinking about it, does the amp internally wire down the two speaker inputs in parallel, making it half ohm? Or is it still 1 ohm? To make it clear, I have each sub at 1 ohm, and each set of wires going to each of the inputs. I'm thinking the amp overheated because it's at half ohm. He doesn't have a DMM so he can't check until we meet tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
