only 1 sub gets warm?

One is probably out of phase

Do a pop test by taking + and - out of the amp and connect straight to ur battery

The subs should move out together the same amount, if one moves in or not as much it has a coil out of phase or if it moves the same amount as the other in an opposite direction (inward) that sub is out of phase

Why would that make one sub warm? While it may not sound good, they are both working just as hard against each other. Right?

OP I assume you have a multimeter to measure the impedance of the wiring and if you don't, go get one for 20 dollars at wal mart. This is a necessity to save the agony of guessing in the future. Anyhow, Check that stuff and report back.

When one coil is wired against. The other on the same sub what do you think is going to happen?

That sub will more less and get hot very fast

If both subs are out of phase but coils are in phase

They would more likely be getting hot at the same rate....

That's why I said both options....

Didn't read very well. i thought u meant 2 subs wired against each other not coils. Makes sense.

He has them series and parallel each sub parallel and both subs in series

4ohms/2coils= 2ohmsx2subs=4ohms

Make sense?

Yea it was late as you can see, so my bad. But it would be each sub wired in series then both subs wired up in parallel. that would be the proper way for a 4ohm final load. I guess my statement at 1:00am was premature.

Could be a common mistake. I've done that before. Wired one sub in series and one in parallel. Well let's see what the OP says.

New build coming soon. [center][url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/3/sigtoo.jpg/"][img]http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/9541/sigtoo.jpg[/img][/url][/center]

Eh works both ways LOL but I agree with cars could be somethin as simple and common as wiring wrong due to distraction or being tired hell I've done it before...but once again cars beat me to it "let's see what the op reports back with"
