MAKE SURE YOUR GROUND WIRE IS GROUNDED GOOD,,AND IT IS IMPORTENT TO HAVE YOUR REMOTE WIRE HOOKED UP. IT WILL BE A BLUE WIRE,,FIND THE HOT WIRE FOR YOUR TAIL LIGHTS AND HOOK IT THERE THEN WHEN YOU TURN YOUR CAR ON THE AMP WILL ALSO COME ON.THAT SHOULD STOP ALL THE NOISE AND POWER YOU UP.
You could effectively hook up two 15" Kickers. Make sure they are power hungry because that amp has some weight behind it. I don't recommend 4 speakers though. Get a second amp if you want to run 4 15" speakers.
your subs are the problem, not your amp, your wiring your subs paralelle, means dropping input ohmage, allowing your amp to over heat with minimal load, check the amp specs for running at low ohms, most hifonics amps are rated 2 ohms and higher, some however will run at 1 ohm, only on class b-a amps though.(competition) dropping ohmage will allow the amp to push more power to the voice coils, however the voice coils may not be rated for 1 ohm power, what ohmage are your coils rated at? do you have a min. of 100 amp inline fuse on your 1-0 awg wire? do you have internal fans? you can add mosfets to the amp but if you do so, you'll have to re-program your amps mother board.
Assuming that you have a 4 Ohm Dual Voice Coil (DVC) sub, you should wire it in parallel for more output. Solid red connects to red with white dot, and goes from solid red to amp positive (+). Solid black connects to black with white dot, and goes from white dot to amp negative (-). For a good diagram, go to this link: http://kicker.com/dvc_wiring
1 OHM...ONE... sheesh now thats a low resistance for anything... If they are only 500 watts and they are in parallel, series well NO.. your amp puts out wayyyy too much for those speakers.. 1200w versus 500 watts by 2... srill NOT enough "Head room" for it to be safe... about half is all you could expect before Pop.. sound is heard.
wire the subs if thair dual 4 ohm . in parallel. red to red and black to black. giving it a 2ohm load. do the other sub the same. and conect it on the amp . turn your gain about 12oclock and db level less than 12oclock and your frequnecy around 80-100. and that should work
If you don't know if the amp is bridgeable, then I wouldnt do it. It could already be bridged internally and bridgeing it through the speaker terminals could be disatrous, i.e. the infamous blue smoke of death. The amp looks like a 2 channel amp fromt he pic and you have two speakers you are trying to power with it. So the safest bet would be to just unbridge your speakers and hook them each up to the amp as normal. No blue smoke. Good luck!
Assuming the amplifier is 2 ohm mono stable... the amplifier is bridgeable... and the subwoofers are Single 4 Ohm Voicecoils, You would wire them as follows....
Both + on Both subs to the + bridged terminal on the amplifier. Both - on Both subs to the - bridged terminal on the amplifier.
This will net a 2 ohm mono load for your amplifier.
If you have something different - let me know... and I will give you the proper wiring for what you have.
