im getting a fi ssd 12.
the extra options like the bp power and the flat wind coil i sorta of understand from the explanation on the website but i want to know what i should get and not get to achieve the best outcome for a daily used sub.
-
are hifonics good or bad? ive heard both and i need some reputable opinions.

alright guys, i went and found a 8 guage wiring kit, the recommended size for the amp. i redid the power cable, the ground cable and the remote and rca cables. the power has a fuse in it now and everything is running super smoothly. thanks for all the help, appreciate it!
-
Any piece of wire will do. And yes work on getting a fuse on that power wire. Report back!
alright thanks man for the help! i just gave the guy that help me set it up a new wiring kit that i ordered but it got here after the install so whenever he gets back ill probably take one of the fuses from it or use the new wire to power the amp.
ill let you know how it goes.

99.9% of people will always tell you run a fuse to ANY power wire that has to do with car audio.
That fuse is to protect the wire and if there is no fuse you will have a fire on your hands.
Now for the amp can you take a small jumper wire from the remote to the power on the amp and see if it clicks on.
That other .1 percent is people who think they know what they are doing but don't.
ill have to find a jumper, but we were going to put a fuse but he didnt have one and we live in hawaii so its pretty hard to get ahold of things unless you order them and doing that still takes a month to get. im going to check all the connections tonight and see if there all good and work on getting a fuse ordered.

no i dont have a fuse on the powerline and im running it from the car battery not a secondary.
-
It looks like the amp wasn't maxed out so I would check some connections.
Also does your power line have a fuse?
where would i look for the fuse? is it on the power wire or is it by the battery? it its on the power wire then i dont.
-
And you are SURE that all connections are secure? Does it have a protection light and does it come on?
it doesnt have a proctection light, just the light to let you know when its powered on.
thats the next thing im going to check but they all should be fine.

Sounds like the amp died.
What were your gains and such set at?
im not sure because one of my friends with a big system help me set it up. let me go check real quick.

im new to car audio, specifically setting up subwoofers and amps. ive had my system, a alpine type r12 and alpine mrpm500, for about two weeks and its been running pretty smooth for about two weeks until yesterday and then the amp quit running. i turned my car off and then back on and the light for the amp came on and then it faded off and it wasnt powering the sub at all. now its not even lighting up when i turn my car on and today i replaced my remote wire and now i dont know what to check. the ground is on metal that has not paint and the power cable is a 4guage kicker cable.
what do you guys recommend me doing to try to fix this? i would appreciate any help.

im getting a amp that can put out 1500 rms at 1 ohm and 900 at 2ohm and most likely will do it at 2 ohms.
but from what i read it says that bp power can increase how much it can handle. is that true?
