this didn't happen to me (good thing too), but my friend had 3 10" vega series subs hooked up to an 800aII.. someone at *coughBESTBUYcough* must've messed up his wiring b/c he was riding around and smelled burning rubber. so he pops his trunk only to see one sub completly crispied, and another one in flames. i laughed for a good few days after seeing the subs, he didn't much mind. he got them replaced for free. (i don't let BB do any installs for him anymore, i offer to do them. =)

well those subs handle 300 watts a peice fine so 900 watts and they were all burning wtf that guy must have wired it into a 1.3 ohm load mono im suprized the amp didnt shut down and because to fry those subs like that you have to be pushing at least 1500watts unless it was a heIIa cliped singal (which it probally was)

Hmm.. sounds like your friend was clipping the amp into oblivion... not a wiring problem as i see it yes, the amp was running at a less than reccomended load, but if the subs caught on fire, its not the amps fault
