Here is what is happening.  When I connect both of my subs I lose almost all volume from them.  My front speakers stay running fine.  The speakers are moving but they are so quiet I can hardly hear them.  If i run 1 sub it sounds great.  It started raining last night so i didn't get a chance to run the them both solo to see if maybe the 1 I have disconnected is bad.  Assuming I hook up the second sub solo and it sounds fine what else should I look into?

Setup:

Pioneer HU

P450.4 Amp in 4 channel
JL Audio 650-Csi running off the front channel at 4 ohms per
Alpine 6x8s running off the rear channel of head unit
8W3V2-D4 running off of the rear channel at 2 ohms per

 one of your subs is wired out of phase.............swap the wires of one sub either at the amp or the sub
