i think that he might wired them to create 1 ohm load and the amp is two ohm stable and maybe it clipped

they are 4 Ohms but would a boss 1200 wat amp push them hard enough and why do these subs have 2 positive and 2 negative connections on each sub?

wow - seems like u all christened me > mr. type R -lol

that MB Quart amp plays excellent but those Rs can handle more than it so i would it 4 these 2 subs
Read what i said here after testing it with a bigger amp >>>>> https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/car-audio/189456.html

since u got 4ohms dvc version of subs buy either a kicker kx1200/sx1250 or orion 1200D amp & u will bump happy .

Juvenile - i cannot say 4 sure as i never used that 3000 but seeing that its 1000wrms the 2 12s Rs should have it beat due 2 double cone area & both pushing double air also .
BUT if u want SPL - 4 around the same $ u can buy 2 3000 subs & have a fairly decent SPL system...

^^^shoulda been I WOULD NOT REC THAT MB AMP FOR 2 OF 12" Rs - because they can handle more power ....

put the r's in a ported box and give each one 600 watts. they won't be as loud as the pioneer imo but the sq will be alot better and they'll still get loud.

Rigo Gomez... they have 2 negs an 2 positives because they are Dual Voce Coil Subs which means they have 2 Voice Coils on each sub... also what model are you using from the boss amps


Also here is a Wireing guide since you dont seem to know how to wire DVC subs

Juvenile - if u buy 2 3000 u should be hittin HARD !

with my 2 pioneer 306 subs they hit pretty hard but imo SQ fell short cause these can't play bass lower than 40hz . Dunno if its the same way with those 3000 .......
