Go to the Hot Topics forum and read "How to Set Your Gains" to make sure you have set the gain on your amp properly.

Support the12volt.comWell your amp is 4 ohm stable bridged and if your wired correctly series paralell then with your subs your at 4 ohms. Meter the wires to your subs disconnected from the amp to verify they are wired at 4 ohms. If so start checking things. Grounds. Wire gauges etc.

You can't wire two of those subs to be bridged at 4 ohms. The subs are DVC woofers so you would have to wire them @ 8 ohms to bridge them at the amp safely.
The ohm load is probably below 4 ohms bridged at the amp which is causing the amp to go into protection mode. I would probably run the woofers in stereo at the amp @ 4 ohms per channel or get a mono amp rated at 1200w RMS @ 2 ohms.
Possibly a Massive N4 but thats 1000w @ 2 ohms RMS? That amp would work great but the selections out there are endless.

I drink current, eat ohms, and bleed voltage
