Run the amplifier in bridged mode. Then wire the subwoofers in parallel to the amp. Connect the negatives on the voice coils together and connect to the negative terminal you use on the amp when you bridge it. Do the same for the positives on the subwoofers. That will give you a 4 ohm load for the amp.

However is that amp a 2 channel or 4 channel amps. Their specs dont make sense..

2 channel 300X4 Is it 2 channels or 4 channels???

what about my other question? "I was also wondering would i need to hook up that huge 60 amp fuse in the case to my amp that came with the amp kit? I already have a 40 amp fuse in a small rubber case at the battery."

---it the wierd type of fuse that you connect one end of the power wire at both sides of the fuse......it doesnt makes sense having 2 fuses since i have the one the car stereo shop installed (small 40 amp fuse in rubber case) at my battery

any idea peeps? thanks so much

I'm not quite sure I understand you?? Did you buy a new amp kit, and it came with a larger fuse and fuse holder??

You only need to fuse it once at the battery (within 18" of the battery). I would probably switch to the better fuse holder because (if it is the kind I am imagining) it will probably accept higher rated fuses, which will make future expansion easier. Plus they just look nicer //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
