    are both the woofers running of the same amp?

    Check the erathing of the amp that is running the woofers.

Comp VR 15s are rated @ 500W RMS 1000Peak.
The lanzar vibe amplifier is 2 x 600W RMS at 4 OHMS 2 x 1200W MAX at 4 OHMS 1 x 2400W MAX at 4 OHMS Bridged 2 x 1000W at 2 OHMS RMS.
Your subs are single 4 ohm subs.
If your subs are wired stereo, they both are seeing 600W. (more than the rated RMS)
Chances are, you have them wired parallel to a 2 ohm mono load - of which that amplifier is not rated. In theory, it will produce about 2000W @ 2 ohm mono for a short period of time.
Your amplifier is too powerful for your subs. Turn down the gain setting to 3/4 or purchase better subs. Also be sur the subs are inthe proper enclosure. It sounds as if they are excurting past their linear x-max and colliding with the rear bump plate. This will cause damage down the road if left as is.

I have 2 12s kicker comps 2ohm. One of them are working fine, the other one, when I hook up to amp, it throws them both off and just does this repetitive bass....or when I just hook the one thats...

Measure the resistance across the voice terminal of the known good sub, and then compare that to that of the problem sub. You may see a greatly changed value, which likely means the voice coil is damaged. Don't connect the subwoofer again because you risk damaging your amp as well.

My subwoofers cut out after 30 seconds of use but work fine during the 30 seconds...my fuses are all fine and i'm running thick wire with an 80 amp fuse connected off battery...I have a lanzar vibe286...

If it's only your subwoofers cutting out and your speakers are still playing and all, try turning gain down on sub amp and see if that fixes it. I know if I crank my amp too high it kicks itself off to try to keep itself from blowing.

One of my 15" cvr

if the unit completely stopped working try connecting the speaker to the working speakers connection, if it still doesnt work then you have seized the speaker, basically the driver is shot and the speaker is dead. you might have a warranty but usually you can smell the burnt coil. turn down the gain and the frequency on your amp as it is not properly tuned and will cause dame like this as well. if you are not certin take the car to a install shop and have them tune and balance you system for you.

I have 2 15'' CVRs and a 1200w amp

1 OHM...ONE... sheesh now thats a low resistance for anything... If they are only 500 watts and they are in parallel, series well NO.. your amp puts out wayyyy too much for those speakers.. 1200w versus 500 watts by 2... srill NOT enough "Head room" for it to be safe... about half is all you could expect before Pop.. sound is heard.

Wireing two dual 4 ohm kicker cvr 15s on a memphis pr1000 at a 1 ohm load. I trying to get these kickers to hit harder. Do I need a bigger amp or what?

CVR series do not have large power handling capabilities.
Your subs will melt before the amplifier is used to its full potential.
If the subs arent in a ported enclosure - do that.
They both handle 500w rms - so the pr1000 is perfect.
bass response is all in the enclosure!
