I'm Running 2 10inch Bazooka EL's off of a Bazooka EL MonoBlock (600w max)

Am i running my amp in 2ohm or 1ohm??monoBlock  , 2 Subs , Impedance -- posted image.

The subs are 4 Ohm's each

The Subs are wired in Paralell

The Amp Runs Hot and sometimes CLicks out.. monoBlock  , 2 Subs , Impedance -- posted image.

you are pushing a 2 ohm load to your amp if the speakers are SVC, if they are DVC you would be pushing 1

An amp is designed to get hot, too hot though and it is going to go into protection. This is usually caused by an incorrect gain setting (too high), a bass boost (too high), or poor circulation. If it is scorching hot outside, the inside of a vehicle gets darn hot as well. Ensure the amp has proper ventilation and turn the gains down. It is indeed running at 2 ohms if the subs are 4 ohms each and wired in parallel

You said "4Ga all the way.. Fused at both ends.. monoBlock  , 2 Subs , Impedance -- posted image." do you mean that you have fuse on your ground?
