ohiojosh78 can only hope to improve
They're dual voice coil. You're supposed to connect both sets.

Are these subs 8/4/2 ohm subs? It will say on the box 4ohm DVC or 2 ohm DVC. Get back to me with that and I can tell you exactly how to wire them up. The reason your blowing through subs could very well be because only one voice coil is hooked up.

Here's the chart's from RF

If your amp is bridged or both speakers are to one amp output:




If your amp is running one woofer per channel:

2 OHM Stable amp only


Not 2 OHM Stable

Wire them parallel, as it shows in the phamplet that should be in the box. If there isn't one, you can find it in the above pic from RF, or go to Kicker's site www.stillwaterdesigns.com

Also, could you quit typing in ebonics? It hurts my eyes. Another thing, sounds like one of your tinsel leads is trashed. Kicker will take them back and either repair them or send you new ones under warranty. Then you'd have 2 subs, and you could sell one or keep both, should you choose to do so.

LOL, this from a guy that says that his location is the "Durty" South, GA.

Hypocrisy at its best.

But you see, you can read that. I have a hard time deciphering **** that uses a single letter for an entire word, not to mention the missing words and shitt I have to fill in the blanks for to make it make sense. Maybe I should have called it retarded ebonics.

I would just take it back where you got it and get them to send it back for you. They should do that, unless of course you ordered it. I think there also may be a way to file a warranty claim through their website, but I'm not 100% on that. I know you can get an RA(return authorization) there. As long as you have your reciept, they should let you return it. You'd probably have to pay shipping there if you sent it yourself though. If you got it at a shop, take it there and tell them the problem. They'll probably offer to send it off. Some shops might even give you another and they'll take the warranty return and put it in their stock.
