a little rub is normal, I wouldn't worry about it for now. As far as the smell, that also is normal with a new set of subs, they have 5 spiders on them. That smell is basically just the suspension loosening up. You really need to check your gain and sub sonics. This is out of my help area as I am not there and you'll simply have to do some research on it. Perhaps check the sundown section for better help with that. Sound to me like everything is only a matter of adjustments now. Getting a "clean" unclipped signal to your subs is now your top priority. Glad you go this far. welcome to high end car audio

ok im just switching the black witht he silver on my amps correct? yupper

those look pretty cool.

switch them on the amps now, mount the subs, and you should be good to go finally ..... lols

this looks right! now about what you where saying about the master and slave. on the amps, simply switch the wires. put the positives coming out of the master and negitives out of the slave.

sub back / port back gets my vote. i'm not a trunk car expert though

yah, you have it all wrong. just take the wire from one terminal and wire that sub on that side of the box. then repeat with the next sub. just like this per/sub

nope. you have it all confused. just wire one side at a time. take the wire from one terminal and wire that to one sub. just like the last diagram I posted. Do one at a time. The wires should criss-cross between subs.

need to see the other side of the sub wiring now..

pretent the big (+) (-) in the diagram is your terminal for each sub. simple as that. you are out thinking this whole thing! lols. simple is better

from here just wire each sub to it's respective terminal. since the terminals both go to the same place, you'll then have a 2 ohm load.

looks good. just make sure the subs are wired correctly on the coils like the diagram I gave you. Upgrade to 8awg asap and you should be good. From here make sure to get your settings on the amp correct. good job

what subs? what are the specs of the amp?

any progress on this today?

your welcome

this was my favorite car there only becuase i liked the flat look with a color besides just seeing flat black. Was put together well.

Found it. Here's the amp that goes with that sick sub install..

you read my mind. lol what kind of power are you running? go with two ICON 15's if price is an issue. Can't go wrong with those either.

why thank you sir lol fixing the rest in about 6 hours lol. Great to hear keep us updated in this thread how it turns out.

thats why I took a pic of it. there's a pic of the amp install in there some where. just as bad. don't know why someone thought this was show worthy, but to each his own I guess lols

on a side note, the power wiring/fuses/setup looks great. Just need to iron out the settings and strapping and you should be good to go.

the smell was the silicone, because the sub was literally melting the silicone... lol. if you have the subs this hot for too long, you are most likely in danger of damaging the coils. thats why I shut it all off completely. I checked the subs, nothing looks damage. the only thing i found weird was the subs made a weird noise when you like pushed on the or whatever but im assuming that ok cause they were like that the day i got them. and when i say push i dont mean a lot of force at all lol.. try and push down straigh down on it with equal force so that it goes straight down. If you push from the side you will hear a rubbing sound. If you push from the top with equal force and still hear it, then you could have some trouble. yeah when i pushed in the center it didn't make the noise only the sides. subs are fine, thankfully. Like I said before, you've got a decent investment in this setup, I would strongly suggest you take it to your friend at your local shop and have them set this up properly. You could even print out this thread with the "how to strap" and that should be great to go off.
