  1. well i got to looking and my fuses in the back of my amp are 30a not 60a if that says anything about the power?also i have a 4000 watt spl capacitor,my multimeter says 1ohm when i hook them up to my wires.in each port,but im still wondering the audio shop said something was wrong with my system because it shuts off when i crank it up too loud and my subs are turned up alittle.i just think its cause my alternator is only 60amp?am i right or what,i mean i dont want to mess up the amp or subs,and i dont think they are clicking whatever that means.it gets pretty freaking loud past about 15 or 16 on the head unit and my sub level is at 0. but when i turn em up to about 20-25 my whole head unit and everything shuts off even when my trucks on?is it just my small alternator???any help would be appreciated plz. thanks.josh
  2. well i hooked a multimeter up to em and figured out they are wired at 1ohm,now what do you mean by clipping?when i crank it up it pulls so much power from my battery and alternator it shuts off my system then restarts if thats what ur talkin bout but im pretty sure its just cause im in a yota with a 60amp alternator?would doing the big 3 help or just get a gm130amp to help?
  3. alright ill do that.i am also wondering can it hurt the subs to be underpowered and are they being underpowered. i mean the amp is 1300 watts rms at 1ohm i think,if they are plugged into that 1300 watt channel doesnt that mean they are getting 650 watts a piece if they are wired at 1ohm??idk if this helps any but it has 4 wires coming out the back
  4. okay so i bought 2 t1 12" rockford fosgates from a guy in a huge custom box with a power acoustik crypt series cptd1 2200d mono block for 300 bucks.i went to my local audio store just to look around and they wanted to see my system,idk if they were trying to sell stuff or what but he said my amp is underpowering my subs by alot and i need a much larger one.i understand rms,peak and all that stuff,but im lost when it comes to ohms,and such.i have no idea what my ohms are on my subs,and it would help a lot if i knew or if one of u guys could steer me in the right direction with what i should get for an amp or if i should keep the amp on it.the box has 4 wires coming from the back 2- and 2+ so i have the negatives twined together in the -port and the 2 positives tied together in the positive port.can anyone tell me what my ohm wiring is or do i need to take the subs out to look or what.im totally lost here and need some help.these things sure do hit hard to be apparently underpowered.The subs are the older style t1s the silver ones.
