ClarkB Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Okay i came here today to figure out my problem because i cant, and i figure someone here may know my problem. Im running two 4ohm dvc subs rated at 500 rms to a 1500 watt boss audio amp, after installing numerous times its failed to work my main problem is my amp is getting power, but my subs will not play they would hit hard for a second then not hit at all or sound very distorted. When i first installed them everything worked perfectly was hitting hard, sounded Bad ass. Round down the rode for about less then a mile and all of my bass would fade away, and upon unhooking up everything again my subs sound distorted, and wouldnt play efficiently. Everytmie ive hooked them up they play perfect until i ride down the road for a bit then i lose all bass and its a repeat. Lost here guys and need some help! Battery Terminal > 4 gauge Power Wire to dist block > 8 gauge to amp > 8 Gauge ground > amp has power > Subs don't play efficiently.

iKidwell Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 when you bought that boss audio amp Quote c'mon now, if i was shooting an 8 year old, it wouldnt be MY 8 year old. i recently got a Pyle PL1590BL and i was building an enclosure for it tuned to 25 hz. i didn't have any tools to cut a circle so i hit it with a big hammer. 2003 Infiniti G35 Sport Sedan Build in Progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Fizzy Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 You went wrong when you bought a boss amp. You probably have it wired to 1ohm. And it's most likely not 1ohm stable.

XX7R Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 This sounds like either you have low voltage or you have a bad ground causing it to stop playing Quote 1990 Nissan 300zx Twin Turbo - Summer Ride(No system yet, lookin to get it up to 450-500 horse first!)2006 Chevy Malibu - Daily DriverDC Level 5 15", 2 APSM-1500's, 3.88 cu. ft. tuned to 32hz1992 Honda Prelude - SOLD2 18" TC 3hp Woofers on a Crescendo BC3500.1d, 12.7 cu. ft. tuned to 35hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClarkB Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Ive hooked everything up by the manual, and the amp is fine if i wanted you to knock it i would of said have at it. Anyway i have the amp wired to a 4ohm load. I followed all the manuals and subs are wired at 4ohms. amp can be wired to 1ohm, but its a 4ohm load. My ground is connected to a piece of metal but not the frame, think that may be the problem.
