Default RE: Sub Life?

Another update. PROBLEM SOLVED! A buddy of mine heard about how my subs were acting funny and said he would like to take a look at it. He's a big time electronics wizard. He saw the problem right away. The RCA jacks were running through the pass through. When me and the guy I hooked my stuff up with were installing it we had messed it up. Neither of us had ever dealt with a 4-channel. You know how your CD player RCA jacks run to the input on an amp. 4-channels have front and rear inputs. We hooked up to the front input and only one sub would play. We were dumbfounded. Finally we got the bright idea to hook up a set of spare RCA jacks to the rear input and cross-through. We didn't know what a cross-through was anyway. Both of the subs played so we thought we had solved the problem. That's why one sub was so crazy, it was running through the cross-through. Today we fixed it all by pulling out the extra set of RCA jacks and moving all the speaker wiring over to the FRONT side to match the RCA jacks hooked up to the front input. I also found out that what I though I had bridged wasn't bridged at all. He tied both the positive wires from both subs and put them into the FRONT side. He then did the same thing with the negatives. Lots more power that way and it sounds GOOD. I turns out all my worrying was just about a pair of M@TH#R FU%&IN@ RCA jacks!
