| Is it possible the sub is bad, maybe the coils touching eachother ? Just a guess... |

| get a ohm meter and hook one probe to the neg. of one coil and one probe to the other neg. terminal and see if theres resistance, i bet the coils have shorted together. |

| both 2 channels amps are bridged, anyways i used a multi meter on both coils and there both reading fine, now when i hook both coils up to the one amp it works fines , so i dont think they shorted together? and ive also taken the sub completely out of the box to look and i dont see anything wrong, ive checked my grounds and there all perfect , anymore ideas? |

| if you use your multimeter , hook on side up to neg on one coil and the othere to + you will get your ohm of your VC
if you wire it 2ohm vc to 2 ohm vc then you will have 2 wires if you use your multimeter to the 2 wires you will get an ohm # if it is too low your amp might go into protect
