Cool

hi, if those subs are 2 ohm dvc, the load you seek cannot be made possible.if they were 4 ohm dvc, than i'd wire each subs v/c's in series(8 ohm) and connect them in parallel at the amplifier(4 ohm).L8r.

Do you have an infrasonic (often called sub-sonic) filter on that amp? That could possibly same you some current consumption to make it a little more stable.

Your subs don't really match that amp at all... as you know that amp likes 4 ohms mono @ 1x 600 Watts...
OR .. 2 ohms stereo @ 2x 300 Watts ...now if you had subs that were dual 4 ohm VC's everything would work great.

As it sits right now, are you sure you don't have both subs wired in parallel for a 1 ohm load per sub...and thereby runnning your amp in 1 ohm stereo which it was not designed to do. If this is the case you will definetely have stability problems.

To extract max power out of that amp try wiring up just one sub w/VC's in series for a 4 ohm load, and it should rock pretty good.

Try it out with the one sub and see how you like it...that amp will put out quite a bit more power at 4 ohms mono than at 4 ohms stereo.

I guess you could get different subs if it doesn't work out with the one sub.

I'm betting you'll be very surprised at the output with 600 Watts going to one sub. If it's a sedan aim the sub towards the rear of the trunk...try different positions, it's kinda neat to hear the changes in your bass response depending on how the sub is located and aimed..
