To have 2x 2 ohm subs wired up, they either need to be wired in series or in parallel. In series, they will total as a 4 ohm load to the amp (or 5 ohms if 2.5 each) and in parallel, they will be 1 ohm (may be closer 1.25 ohms I think).
If this is a mono block (single channel) amp, I can't see that you will be able to wire them for a 2 ohm loan. You may have to wire them in series to be a 4/5 ohm total as the amp probably won't be 1/1.25 ohm stable.
Yes, one sub to channel one and two and the other to three and four. Ensure you set the crossover to lowpass. If you don't get the sound you want, as long as you have the correct enclosure, I would recommend an external adjustable crossover.
almost any amplifier amp would push a 400 watt sub. try to stick with a name brand, and steer away from no name brands like boss, jensen, etc.you will only need a 2 channel amp to run your sub.you will need a second amp to run your 6x9'sor you could get a 5 channel amp, and run all your speakers, and the 5th channel for your sub
If your amp started smoking, probably not. Due to your description, did the other sub really blow? I would hook it up to another amp to test it. It may have been a channel in your amp. As for repairing the amp, the parts and labor to repair will probably cost you more that to just replace the amp.
That all depends on the wattage of the subs. also the independance of the subs. If your amp is 1400 watt, maximum you want is 2 600watt subs. if your subs are higher you will blow your amp eventually as your amp isnt powerful enough to pump out to that level.You should never have your amp fully turned up to max, 80% is perfect and will not make your amp blow. Hense why you want your subs less than the max output of your amp.
It has 2 coils with 4ohm and 110w RMS power. Depending on what amplifire you have, you can conect on two chanals with 4ohm on each channel or if your amp can handla 2ohm, than you can take the+from both coils and connect it together on 1chanal, and take two- and connect it together, that way you will get 2ohm resistance on 1 chanal. It all depends what your amp can handle and how much power does it have!
Sounds like you are over working this amp for sure.. Upgrading your power wire & battery might help, check your gain level on your amp to. This is not the volume for the amp. Its to get both amp and the cd player on the same page... And most of all if your subs are wired up to .5 ohm stable, see if your amp do the same... My answer to this ?? Upgrade your amp, Boss audio was never a good company to me, but that is my opinon. Audiobahn set up all the way..
It comes down to Amperage and RMS, your best bet is to go in and talk to a salesman at a stereo shop. That way he can decide on what sort of power you want and how you wanna use the subs. But 1000amp AMP is probably a good start 4 channel of course. Alpine or SOny make some kick a$$ AMPS
