Go-n-Def I've checked the polarity by following wires and using a AAA battery but I'm going to use GoldenEye's advice to play a sub sonic tone to finally verify they are firing in phase.

Joshex- I have a 100 amp ANL fuse under the hood on my 4ga, and at the distribution block there are 50 amp AGU fuses for each run of 8ga.

I would seriously use a single monoblock for both subs instead of 2- 2channel amps .....

damn that is very true I didn't even notice that. I bet getting a single mono class D amp powerful enough to drive both subs would help, plus higher amp efficiency.

It turns out the subs were out of phase, everything was wired correctly so I think it was due to having separate amps. It's louder now and hitting hard but I'm not convinced the two subs are completely in sync. Definitely +1 for a mono amp

Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

Glad to see you figured it out. Did you play a low tone? Or could you just tell they were out of phase by eye?

Oh i know how a 12v system works I did take 3 years of electronics in High school hands on and some in college and also worked on cars in college an always got A's to B's in each class. 

But oh well enough dealing with ppl who have probably not even lived as long as ive been into electronics!
