[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8871521, member: 689267"] ??? You mean +/- on the speaker output from the amp to the +/- on the speaker right? You indicate that there were two subs so they should have been wired like this: [ATTACH type="full" width="669px" alt="1709321134906.png"]57037[/ATTACH] That would create a 2 ohm load to the amplifier and that amp puts out 600 watts RMS at 2 ohms. Those subs are rated for 150 watts RMS and would have split that output so possibly 300 a piece, twice their RMS limit. That usually blows speakers, not amps, except when you fried the first one, it would have shorted the circuit causing the amplifier to blow it's fuses. If the amp is okay (put new fuses, start it up not connected to anything and see if it turns on. If it operates okay, then hook up the remaining good sub, and cautiously turn it on.
