Answer
Hi Johnathan,
  I'm not entirely sure from your description what happened.  
  I am concerned that you just hooked up your speakers without understanding much about "ohms", because it sounds to me like you bridged across two subs and drove them down to 2 Ohms (or very likely less).  
  Your amp is probably not rated to handle power that low.  By forging ahead, you very likely just blew your new amp.

  My suggestion would be to check your amp's fuse - hopefully that tripped before your amp self destructed.

  Next, I would ask Mark Lampi to help you hook those speakers correctly to that amp - I am a scientist with expertise in acoustics, and not very familiar with Kicker subs.
