I'm a noob
So im hooking up my amps, crank her up and.....only the front stage is playing. So i notice i didnt wire the sub to the amp So i wire it up and crank it again.......still no boom 
I then hook the sub up to the other amp to rule out a burned amp. Still no boom, so i figure my sub wires have come disconnected in the box. I squeeze into my car, rip the rear seats out and remove the sub. All wires are connected....wtf is this? Theres an extra wire hooked up to the sub. I wired the coils in series....AND parallel 
I ditch the extra wire, all better. slap the sub back in and crank it......still nothing. Now I'm angry and running out of beer. I'm like, it can't be the fuse on the amp.....Cuz theres a fuse before it on the distro block......so i pull it anyway and i already know its dead without even looking at it. now i need a 30A fuse. so i jump in the car and hit up 3 gas stations and wawa. no fuses. not to mention the gas attendants in jersey don't even know what a fuse is 
so then i find some fuses in cost cutters, pop it in....instant boom!! Finally.
Another hint of noobness....i measured wrong and the xover doesnt fit where i need it to go
