Well I have a mixture of components, so help me here. Im bumping a T22 Alpine 75w X 2 or 220w RMS. well anyways could that small amp be under-rated (not enough power output) for the dual voice cone 10" sub?

also right now Im running only single voice cone for each sub, or esle if I run all voice coils then for some odd reason it keeps going into protection on the amp, help????

It sounds like you're trying to bridge the amp into too low of an ohm load. How do you have it wired- are the voice coils connected in series or parallel? How many ohms are the voice coils? Do you have your amp bridged?

So you're running a stereo amp at 2 ohms mono- not a good idea (most are only stable down to 4 ohms mono). Those subs aren't a good match with that amp. I'd recommend getting a mono amp that's stable at 2 ohms- most are.
