Turn bass boost off.... with a properly set gain, it will just turn it into a clipped signal. To properly set your gain, you want to do rms * ohm load and take the square root of that. This number equals the amount of volts that you should be reading at the speaker outputs of the amp by a DMM(volt meter). Your amp does 600rms at 2ohm, the 1000 is the peak rating.... you must of read that wrong caption
And when you are setting your gain, use a like a 50hz test tone. 60hz is kind of low to set the crossover at unless your sub doesnt like the higher tones, you can set it in the area of 80hz.
What is the rms of the arc sub?? The reason you blew it could of been of over powering with a clipped signal from the bass boost. As long as the sub is getting clean power, you should have no problem if the rms of the sub is lower than what the amp will put out.
