Sycho Sound Deranged

[GMMuscle91 10+ year member]

I have 2 12" kicker L5's in a 5 cubic ft ported box. i just got the sycho sound deranged amp, which is 4 channel, 1200watts per channel, and was wondering what you guys think would be the best way to hook these up to this amp. right now i have each sub run down to 2 ohms, (dual 4 ohm subs) and then have each sub bridged to 2 channels. so i am running all 4 channels right now with each sub at 2 ohms. not sure if this is the best way so i was wondering wat u guys all think. thanks.

Take a wire and connect the positive of channel one to the negative of channel two, and visa versa... then with the other 2 channels, wire them parallel to the subwoofers, but take a splice of the remote wire and connect it to both negative terminals.

ok, so i dont near as much about hookin up amps as i thought. lol. how do i run the subs parallel to the amp? and i have both subs run down to 2 ohms right now. Should i switch em back to 4 ohm or leave em at 2?

and one thing i forgot to mention about the amp that might help is that channel 1/2 has its own set of tuning knobs and 3/4 also has its own set. here is a link for the amp.

Leave the subs how they are, just connect the first 2 channels as I said, then connect the subwoofers wires to the other 2 channels, along with a splice from the remote wire going to each negative terminal.

ok. and i jus connect one sub to each channel and dont bridge em right? sorry, ive never ran a 4 channel before so im used to being able to figure it all out with 1 and 2 channel amps. im still kinda an amatuer, so bear with me. thank you

connect one sub to each channel, then with the other 2 channels, take a wire and connect a positive terminal to the negative terminal, then the negative terminal to the positive terminal... then with the remote wire, take another piece of wire and connect it to the remote wire and run it to the negative terminals where you put the subwoofer wires in

when i try to hook the remote up to the negative terminals of the amp where i have the subs connected it blows my fuse to the radio. i have it all run jus like you said. pos to neg on 1 channel, pos to neg on 2 channel, subs to channel 3/4 and remote to neg of channel 3/4. am i doing sumthing wrong?

ok it all works now. took the remotes out of the negs and left everything else the same. doesnt blow the fuse anymore. now i jus need to tune it and figure out why its puttin so much voice through the subs. and yes i have the lpf turned on.

Thats caused by a ground isolation fault, take a wire from the positive terminals and run it to the ground wire terminal ,it will drain any unnessary voltage that will distort the woofers.

so i run a wire from each pos terminal that i have the subs connected to, to the main ground on the amp? or to one of the speaker grounds?

To the main ground on the amp
