Can anyone help?
I just bought 2 x Powerbass S-12D subs which are dual voice coil and 4 ohms per coil, i have each sub hooked up parallel and the are going to a Power Acoustik SL2-2000 (2channel amp) so each subs has its own channel at a 2 ohm load. correct?
Now my problem is before any of that even takes place I think, when I hook up both RCA's into the amp my amp going into protection mode. Now im not sure if its the Hi-Low converter or if my amp is just crapped out on me. The converter is installed correctly so Im really at a loss of things to do right now, does anyone have any suggestions?

I figured out the problem today I made a huge mistake..... my power wire is blue and ground is red I F@#*'d up and put the power in the ground location and the ground in the power location on the amp. Blew all my fuses but my amp didn't get damaged luckily.

Ya I've always had my power wire as blue and ground as black but when I bought the cobalt I threw away my old wires and I ran out of black wire and only had red left, so I stuck the red one in the black ones place and forgot about it. I did it so I wouldnt confuse myself but I seemed to do that anyway.
But it all works now and sounds pretty good, now I just need to ahold of some sound deamplifier to stop the rattle.

Where I work we had our lead installer (at the time) swap power wires on a basslink and messed that thing up, it was classic. Oh and on that same car he arced the battery terminals and shocked the **** out of himself I hadnt laughed that hard in awhile.
