Sub doesn't seem to be working properly
Have just fitted a head unit, amp and two subs.
If I connect one sub it runs but very very quietly.
When I plug in the second I get a really loud buzzing, almost like its on a constant on, which I unplug.
Any obvious ideas? My amp is OK I think because a green light comes on, whereas if the earth wasn't good the red one below would be on.
Should I be plugging them in in a certain way?

The remote lead? Yeah that was what gave me some trouble to start with as I hadn't connected it... It all seems to be in fine now though.

I have two Alpine Type E 10", and yes I have turned it off and on....
I have found some wiring diagrams on Boston Acoustics website for their amp so am going to do what's said on there tonight and see if it makes a difference.
I think that the way I had it wired was dropping it below 2 Ohms.

Someone please help! I am quite sure it is my earth but I have taken the back seatbelt boot out, stripped the paint and put my earth lead on it, even held it on and I still get this buzzing. Moving the earth interferes with the buzzing.
Is my earth not
Good enough?
