What's up guys, just got a new Kicker Zx 750.1 amp and some Infinity 6010 components upfront. Anyways, I was installing the speakers with a drill when the screw that I was using grabbed the side of the surround and ripped some of the adhesive that was holding the side down. It ripped about 2 inches off so now I can actually pull the surround up where the adhesive is missing. The speaker now makes a terrible buzzing noise, but only at midbass range frequencies. I would like to glue the surround back on because I think it will fix the problem but what should I use? Superglue, gorrilla glue, elmers? Don't know but I was leaning towards super glue.
Oh, and the amp that I bought, I was wondering how I can hook a pair of 4 ohm, dvc subs up to properly. I went to Kicker's website but my computer kept messing up and I couldn't read the pictures clearly cuz they have everything in Flash. anyways, a link to a good website, besides Crutchfield cuz I already checked and it didn't help, would be much appreciated. Thanks.

loctite formula 410. Its what Dan Wiggins uses on his Adire speakers. I dont know where to find it other than online. perhaps an automotive store. home depot and hardware stores dont carry it.

for a pair of 4 ohm DVC subwoofers, you have two potential wiring configurations. four ohm total, and one ohm total. your amplifier is only 2 ohm stable, so id recommend wiring the pair for 4 ohms.

you are incapable of wiring two 4 ohm DVC subwoofers to a 2 ohm load. it is not possible.

a 4 ohm load total will get you 375 rms to your pair of subwoofers, each gets 190 rms, each coil gets 95 watts.

Ok, so I see what everyone is saying, but....is it possible to hook both subs up in parallel (so that they are in 2 ohm configuration if separate) and take the wire from the positive on one speaker and the positive on the other speaker and run them together on the amps single positive terminal (also do the same for the negative wires and terminals), essentially hooking them "on top of each other"? I have not done this cuz I don't know what it would do to the subs or amp, but it was a thought. Can the amp distinguish between one set of wires from the other, cuz it seems as if the wires would be the same as a single woofer, but the amp wouldn't be able to tell. Again, I have not tried this and will not unless someone oks it (and I'm still gonna call Kicker). Thanks

that is called wiring in "parralel." the result of that wiring configuration (as I stated in my previous post) is a 1 ohm load total.

the amp will see 1 ohm, and (assuming fully unregulated power) will try to produce 1400 rms, distributing that power into 700 rms per subwoofer, and 350 rms per coil. cool.

except the amp is rated good to 750 rms. Usually the output transistors are the first to overheat and fry.

Ok, thanks man, I didn't know that is what a one ohm load looked like, but I knew that the amp wasn't one ohm stable. I'll just get a new sub, prolly a 15" 4 ohm so that I can wire it in 2 ohm mode. I can do that correct? Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

absolutely you can do that.

Id avoid the 15" L7, its a little inefficient, I think you can do better (louder) than that with 750 rms.
