[QUOTE="djman37, post: 1904710, member: 554697"] your subs need to be wired in series/parallel to not damage that amp. each coil should be wired in series, then each sub in parallel. Wiring it this way prevents the 35 degree phase shift seen when wiring speakers in series. You can do the coils in parallel and the subs in series, but I'd do it the other way. CUR might mean you tried to pull more current through the amp than the wire was capable of. To eliminate the source of excessive current, turn down the gains. Amps try to draw what they are asked to. My best guess is that the subs are wired in parallel all the way. The link you posted gave the fusing of the amp at 2x40 which means your amp isn't gonna draw more than 80A for very long w/o popping those fuses. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
