Hi I just recently bought 2 re audio srx 10" subwoofers dvc 4 ohm and just received my new amp, its a hifonics bxi610 mono and am wondering how to set the amp up so that I don't mess the speakers up.

Just want to know what all the different things on the amp mean like what I should have the level at, the phase at, the bass eq, the sub sonic, I would like to have a decent amount of bass.

Also I have the speakers in a sealed box wired to 1 ohm parralel

Thank you

If the amp is 1 ohm stable it will be fine.

The amp states 1 ohm at 600w rms so that should be good, thanks once again can't wait to hear the final product.

Going to be installing two 5.25" oxygen highs and run them off a kenwood kac-7295 amp was wondering if I would have to get a new alternator for that and if I do what should I go for

The hifonics amp is fused at 60A the Kenwood at 40A (2)20A fuses. That means your system can pull as much as 100A. The big 3 upgrade will help for sure and would be needed for a H/O alt anyway. I would start there. You never did say your vehicle. So its hard to say if or how large an alt you may need.
