ok so sometime last month my sub-woofers stopped working, they were working fine until about a week or two after I wired them parallel (Two 4 ohms subs - to two ohms). I checked the fuses on the power wire and amp, tested the amp everything seemed fine. Come to find out the sub-woofers were blown. I bought a new amp (before I tested the old one(dumb)) and bought new sub-woofers wired them to 2 ohms in my old box. and when I cut on the amp I still get nothing. amp is brand new and powers on- sub-woofers are brand new- I am using a factory head unit with an LOC converter.

Where do I start troubleshooting from here?

 
the plastic terminals in the box can melt and cause a loss in connection. if you wire the subs out of phase you won't hear much.

how were they wired before they were wired in parallel? series?

double-check that the input to the LOC isn't out of phase. disconnect one RCA from the amp input.

use a DMM to measure resistance of the woofer coils while installed in the box (measure at the speaker wires at the amp disconnected.)

RCA can cut out.

The issue may be the sub box, not the equipment. If you got them prefabricated, chances are you got the wrong size an tuning.

Kodas like big sealed boxes and can't handle power. I shredded the surround on my 8 in .4ft³ and 350w My 10s on 1000w for the pair one coil...

These are also very good drivers, some of the best bang for the busk on shallow mounts. DD Audio SL610-D2 10"...
