I have a rockford 301m, it is 900 Watts Peak/Max 150 Watts RMS(it says this online, but at home it says it is 300 watts RMS??), 150 x 1 @ 4 ohms, 300x1 @ 2 ohms.  My subs are 2 10" Pioneers.  They are TS-W29C they have a ohm rating of 4.  Im not at home right now so I can't look at the box so I am getting all the info online.  Here are the subs I have http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/product/detail/0,,2076_4059_38285_tab=B,00.html?compName=PNA_ProductDetailComponent

And this is the amp http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/ez2/ModelInfo/ModelInfo.asp?ItemKey=10061221&CategoryDesc=Punch%20Amplifiers

Thanks for the help, as you can tell I am new at this....

You CAN run both of those subs off that amp. You will wire the speakers in parallel which will give you a 2Ohm load on the amp.

Is there a reason why CAN is in all caps? I had them run in parallel already, but I blew one sub.  I took it to Best Buy and they said that the amp couldn't handle the way I had it set up....If someone could answer why that happened thanks...

Turn around and run away, hurry Best Buy man is catching you. You have a mono sub amp that is designed and engineered to operate at a 2 ohm mono load, thus two 4 ohm subwoofers wired in parallel will indeed work with your amp. Here is the way it should have been wired for you, double check the wiring.

Wiring Option #1

question about a amp -- posted image.

If you blew a sub, chances are that the gain on the amp was too high, or a bass boost was too high. A sub does not blow on it's own. Chances are that your other sub is not far behind.  A su blows when the voice coils cannot cool down, be it from excessive and consistent volume levels, running the amp out of clean power (clipping) - this causes the amp to produce a distorted signal that the speaker will reproduce until it fails. It takes time to blow a sub, it generally does not happen right away. Best Buy guy could not have been any further away from the truth. If you need more info please post it up.

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

Hey thanks for the help, I will try it out this weekend, hopefully everything works fine.  I do have the warranty so I can just get a new sub if I accidently mess it up...lol.
