trust me when i say this stay away from the new rf amps. get a hifonics they are far better build quality and the new 10 series does rated power all day long. a bxi1210d is perfect on those subs.

but on my subs I got a ?

each of the subs has 2 terminals, well, one of the three jumps from about 3 all the way to 3.7

the other 3 terminals stay between 3.0 and 3.2
