I have no idea what I'm doing.

I bought a used system from someone in town. It was 2 ten JL subs (unsure of model) in a JL wedge Box with a Power Acoustik OV2-400 amp.

Had it for a month until the subs blew. Now I am looking for something else, but I do not know how to pair subs with this amp.

I am guessing the box is wired for subs to run parallel. There is only one hookup on the box and it splits to both speakers.

Cliffs:

I dont know what subs to get for my amp.

I dont know what RMS wattage subs need to be

ETC

Here are the amp specs.

3/4 of the way up.

Anyone else have recommendations for subs to purchase?

Is this even a decent amp or should I try selling it and getting something better?

I would sell it and get another setup all together.
