I dont mean to sound mean but its jsut the way this is going to come out. If you set in your car and turn it up till it hurts your chest then your a mo-ron " " because you wont be able to hear in a month. Anyway you are probably runnin all the subs in parellel and running that jenson to low on the ohms side. That is why it is getting to hot.

since your running the two tens in series the amp would be at 2ohms and that by its self would make it get hot.

when you run two subs in series doesnt it double the ohms????thats what waynes articles say, unless i read wrong.then running the 12 parralel with the 10's(12 is 4ohms and 10's 4 ohms each)so wouldnt that make 4 ohms for the 10'3 and 2 ohms for the 12, totaling 6 ohms.
