  2. wait so you upgraded from 600rms to 800rms (please clarify that these are rms rating not max ratings....)? that wont have any audible difference.. sounds like you just wasted some cash my bet is that you have a bad ground, improper wiring (sub wiring, power wire gauge, etc), or incorrect amp settings (chipping, using bass boost, etc) which is causing the overheating issue.

    Amp help

    should not be a difference atleast to the ear.. maybe on the meter theres some kind of benefit but i have no idea. 1 sub per amp would keep the install simpler aswell

    mounting a sub upside down?

    when you switch from mounting the sub regularly to an inverted mount you switch the polarity of the sub, so what you can do is switch the positive and negative wires at the amp or at the sub to reverse the polarity back to normal. this is also referred to in terms of phase. im sure you've seen some amps that can change phase? when you flip the phase 180 degrees its the same as switching the pos and neg wire. here is a good resource. Basic Car Audio Electronics number 31 my be of some help... the demo of testing polarity with a battery will help you understand it better, if not i can go into more detail it doesnt really matter which way the polarity is set, try it both ways or if you have a amp with a phase dial try all the setting to find the loudest.

    Advice for a beginner
