Answer 1

Oh ****! You got the wiring messed up. Rewire the subs up. Are they 4 ohm or 2 ohm subwoofers. What amp are you using. Are you wired at 8,4,2, or 1 ohms?

The wires inside the box could have gotten fried

Answer 2

It may be due to the fact you don't know how to properly set the gain (as you have proven with one of your answers).

The purpose of the gain is to match the signal volts RMS coming from the source (CD player, etc.) to the input of the amp to prevent clipping (damage by over powering).

Here is a guide that will help you set the gain correctly http://www.datafilehost.com/download.php...

You'll need a multi-meter (AC voltmeter), Microsoft Excel and a way to burn an audio CD from an MP3.

If you don't have Excel, use this link http://www.box.net/shared/nkkw1dhk4g
