Hello Ray, nice to see ya back.
Uhm, this is getting expensive trying things on your own huh? Come here or another trusted site so you can get the right info and save some headaches and $$$ too.
If I recall, you have a pair of Bahn 4+4 DVC's (Yes?)
What's the model # of this Brutus amp? (BXi xxxx?) Your post said it's a 2 channel amp right? This means it's not 1 or 2 ohm stable in MONO mode. (4 ohms is needed in MONO mode)
The easiest/safest way to wire things up would be:
1. Each sub is wired for 2 ohms (both coils in parallel = 2 ohms)
2. Each sub gets its own amp channel
Here's a link to help visualize what to do: Wiring option #1 is used here and you do not bridge the amp to Mono!

In this case, each sub needs its own wiring cup. Does this box have 2 cups or one? If it only has one cup, we'll have to do another route. I can explain that later if needed.

whats up swez let me start buy thanking you guys for youre help and for being patient with my half info ive been giving you BXi 2006D
2000-Watt x 1 RMS @ 1-Ohm
u guys .the amp is a Brutus BXi Series Super D-Class™ Champions and my subs are 4x4 what does that mean? my box is a dual 12 inch box with a port on each end cap running from top to bottomand about 2 inches wide and the legth is the ls about 13 inches long each sub has its own port so they dont share air space.i have a nother box that has a 1 port in the middle about 4inches wide and 15 inches long and both subs are sharing air space. would this be a better box or do yoiu recommend a fully closed box. specifications on this amp Hifonics New Illuminated Heat-Sink Design With Blue LED Light Pumps

OK, now that we are clear on the amp in question, this is a 1 ohm stable MONO amp. You can delete the specs section and just use a link. Like this:
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_6523_Hifonics+BXi+2006D.html#
There are 4 speaker terminals on this amp for ease of wiring. See the pictures:
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/pictures.php?id=6523
Note the polarity markers on the speaker terminals. This not the usual way most amps do it. (Rem, +, +, -, -) That's an oddball way I've never see on any amp before. That's 5 terminal lugs in all in this group.
Does your sub box have 1 or 2 speaker terminal cups in it? Knowing that, I can show you how to wire your subs correctly to this amp.

it has only one terminal cup it did have 2 but i illiminated one cup so theres a + and - coming out of my box for both subs .thanks swez

Ok, you can wire everything inside the box for a 1-ohm load and here's a diagram to help you get there. Use wiring option #1:

OBSERVE POLARITY CAREFULLY!!!
