Autruche Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Check your nominal load the amp is seeing, most likely it's too low. If that's not it, open that bish up and look at the mosfets and take pics, they are probably toasted. If it was at too low of an impedance and switching it to a higher impedance doesn't work, than you might have burned up the mosfets from running it at too low of a load. I know that from experience.

ALPINE408 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 if its a dual 4 ohm sub that would be wired to 1 ohm at the amp check to see is your amp can do 1 ohm if there dual 2 ohm subs that is 0.5 ohms at the amp wich that amp should not be able to handle Quote Have you ever had your woofers blown?

ALPINE408 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 if thats the case put them to 4 ohms and wired 2gether would be 2 ohms and the amp wont turn off Quote Have you ever had your woofers blown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Reed Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 if thats the case put them to 4 ohms and wired 2gether would be 2 ohms and the amp wont turn off thats the problem. You are wired to a 1ohm load and the amp is only stable at 2. Switch them to 4ohm and enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autruche Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 so there single voice coil with a switch that lets it be 4 ohm or 2 ohm ive never heard of this Quite simple in theory, a dvc sub with one 4 ohm coil and one 2 ohm coil, but you have a switch that only lets you use one coil at a time.

blownengine Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Seems kinda inefficient. With the sub carrying that extra weight around. But useful for the everyday guy.
