Can you go to lowes home depot and get one about $8.00 for a cheap one that works. If you only have 20 amp fuses then it can not do 1200 watts fuses dont add up. So maybe 1 200 watt makes more sense... In any event be sure to run a power cable of aobut 6 gauge or 4 gauge to make sure you have no power issues. Phasing is easy check polarity make sure all positives go to positives on the speakers. Then the same for negative... The wires in to the amp pos to pos and neg to neg.. If you watch the speakers they should move outward from the magnets... If the seem to move inward then polarity is reversed (out of phase)... Test what you can...

ok each sub should be wired +from 1 coil to the other + then that coil should go to the positive or red connection on your terminal cup(connection on the box). Do the same with the - on each coil then to the negative or black connector on your terminal cup. So now you have +++ and --- going to the box connector. Do that for each sub. then when you hook your speaker wires from the box connectors to the amp make sure your positives and negatives are correct.

gilroy sorry but the fuses are 40 and i have 3 on the amp. and i was thinking a multi meter cost more than that, but 8 bucks i think i can afford that. ruger thats what i did but im starting to think that i need a bigger box for the subs to move the air, i purchased the supercrew sound box with the added 5'8th depth. i think i need a bigger box.....

Its not the amplifier. I have the Cadence iA7 which is the same thing as the AQ1200D but just with a different exterior cover, ad my amp benched at 1227 watts @ 1% THD.

To be honest, if you feel like you cannot figure it out yourself, take it to an audio shop and have them look at it. Nothing wrong with asking a professional for some assistance, just don't let them try to sell you a bunch of stuff. But as far as checking your wiring and settings, they should be able to help you get it solved.
