They are just breaking in, nothing to worry about. Eventually your subs will become loser, when you push the cone down, and they will be burnt in...

How did you set the gains? What other things are you using (i.e. bass boosts, etc).

Try doing the big 3 and installing the yellow top first. Caps don't do ****, sorry you wasted your cash //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

No wonder they are smoking. Learn how to use your equipment. Read the gain setting tutorial.

Go set the gains properly now. What is the sub sonic filter set to?

Even if he had dual 2's and they were wired to 1 ohm that would only be 750, if that, to each. I don't think it's the amp, it's probably just burning them in...

Do the subs sound like they are maxing out? How big is the box? Ported?

It is the amp, did you not read that he has the gain maxed out? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
