How do you have them connected now? Are they dual voice coil drivers? Will your amp operate safely into a 1 Ohm load?

There's 4 coils on each woofer I have them at 4 ohms right now the amp is 2 ohm stable or 4 as well what I was thinking about doing is to drop each woofer to 1 ohm and connect it to the amp would that make it 2 ohms or how can I wire them so the amp won't shut off on me

that amp should be fine running at 4 ohms. Did you set your gains correctly?

If the trunk dont rattle then its not loud.

If it's to loud then you're to old.

you said you have them wired to 4 ohms did you use the subwoofer wiring link on this site to see hot to wire them. If you turn the gain all the way down does your amp still cut off? if you only connect one speaker does it still cut off?

Option 2 (series/parallel) = 4 ohm load

Voice coils wired in series, speakers wired in parallel

Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 4, 2, or 1 ohm mono

they should be wired like this. Read the sticky on how to set your gains. your amp only pushes 1500x1 @ 4ohms
