Subwoofer Problem! Help!

Trust me ive rewired them 4 time. + to + - to- + to + voltmeter side, - to - voltmeter side.

Like it's been said it's not possible to have the coils on a sub test fine separately then have them read like that when connected. You do have the subs disconnected from the amp while testing right?

Being dual 4 subs in parallel would be 2 ohms per channel, which your amp probably will support. It can support it for sure if it can be bridged. And your amp could've smoked a sub if you pushed it hard enough into clipping.

If each coil is still reading good check the wire you used. What gauge is it?

Something is shorted. Could be how you attach wires to the terminals, could be the wires themselves. Think it through and you'll figure it out.

Wire each sub in series and see if they read close to 8 then parallel to the amp

I wired to 8 too and.its reading the same. And my wire is 14 gauge. And no it was not hooked up to the amp

The thing is they were both reading 2 ohm but after i hooked them to.the.amp.and it went into protect mode, it stopped reading right
