Yeah, and my gain is actualy set quite low, as well as my volume level. I doubt the subs are gettin anywhere near that on a regular basis.
You described the terminals being wired to each side of the amp which means they are wired parrallel. In Hifonics world according to the specs of that amp you are running at 1 ohm...

Gain being all the way down means nothing, as all you are doing with gain is matching the output of your head unit to the amps input levels.

So the way you are running it is potentialy 900 watts per sub... All it takes is one heavy bass note at that kind of power to fry a sub that is rated at 300 watts nominal power with a peak rating of 500 in the red zone.

Hifonics also does not have the best specs and control over your subwoofer which does not help the matters...

Now next question, what is the internal volume for each chamber of the enclosure?
