RooTxBeeR Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I don't know why but I am guessing this just means my amp can't run stable at 2 ohms. I rewired my subs to go from series 8 Ohm to parallel 2 Ohm, Although I did leave the gain in the same place, even though previous on 8 Ohms I felt the subs could go way harder than they could. My amp got VERY hot, I have touched my amp before while tuneing my amp and pounding nonstop and just playing with it for minutes on end and never felt it get warn until now. When I would listen to songs that would wang my car before, I couldn't even get it to hit as hard as it was before it would sound like it is bottoming out, or just sounding shitty.

C-Fizzy Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Is your gain set to where it's not clipping? Quote under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooTxBeeR Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Well previously when wired as 8 Ohms, no it didn't clip. I didn't reset my gains when switching to 2 Ohms, although I did reset them to 0 later on and I still had all the same effects just quieter.

C-Fizzy Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Are you sure you're wired at 2 ohms, checked with a dmm?

RooTxBeeR Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I didn't check with a dmm, but I am running them parallel and they are DVC 4 Ohm drivers, so with the math done they are at 2 Ohms.

CaptainzPlanetz Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Whats the model number of the amp, my guess is its a 4 channel and he's tryin to run 1 ohm briged to each set of 2 channels.

RooTxBeeR Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 The amp is a Jensen XA 6040Lx, it's a weird amp, can run 4,3,2 channels. I have it bridged to 2 channels and like I said before the sub wire is Parallel + to + and - to -.

Autruche Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 If you have 2 4 ohm dvc subs, wiring both of them together they can only go to 1 ohm, 4 ohms, or 16 ohms, or individually 2 oh 8 ohms. Do you have them both hooked up to one channel? as in both hooked up to channel 1 and 2 bridged or 3 and 4 bridged. or each to their own channel? as in one sub hooked up to channels 1 and 2 bridged and the other hooked up to 3 and 4 bridged.
