I think I may have found an issue. Looking at the manual for his amp it appears that this amp is not made to be bridged. They have you run a single sub off a single output. Here is a link to the manual.

The manual in your link is for a mono amp - he stated is was a 1200W 2ch.
Heres one for a 1200W 2ch that shows the 'mixed mono' wiring.

It appears that amp cannot be bridged. If so you will need to hook each voice coil to each channel. You will keep your Sony subs wired like I said before and you will wire one voice coil to each channel. Just like you did the Sony subs. Voice coil one goes to channel one and voice coil two goes to channel two. Normaly you would need to use a Y splitter to make the RCA signal mono, but the manual says its a mono amp so I guess that does not apply.

The manual I linked to is for the XM-1600GSD amplifier, in post 10 he said he had an XM-16006SD I assume the 6 is a typo and should be the G since that is the closest match on the Sony site.

Alright thanks for the links. And ya that was a typo. sorry. So, are you sayin to double up both channels. As in, one sony to each channel + one voice coil to each channel. Just making sure before I wire this again.

The only question i really had about that was the wire going from the one voice coil to the other... is that supposed to be just a single piece of wire???? going from one pos. to the other neg.???
EDIT: by the way, my buddy has a 550 watt 2 ch. bridgeable amp hes willing to sell to me for 40 bucks. he bought it (from meijers) for 100 new. I'm gunna hook it up to my truck and see how it sounds this week.
