subs burning and amp on fire

[Rebel4055]

Sorry but your brother has some screws loose, NEVER add a ground to your amp. Only use the supplied terminals.

Use the correct gauge wiring for that amp and ground the amp to the chassis(if it's a unibody car) if it has a frame like a SUV or truck ground it there.

ther discontinued subs, they pound

sadly its the best amp ive had): i just recently started making enough to do my expensive hobby.what would you suggest amp wise?

i see you have those RF woofers, but what is the RMS on them and what is the resistance of the voice coils?

400 rms to 800 peak.

for future reference, when any audio product lists Peak power, it means absolutely nothing. only look at the rms figures. so you have 800rms in woofers, what about the voice coils? if you cant find that out, give us a model number for reference.

are your subs in the box? cause you said you spayed water on them.

There you go, GROUND THE AMP TO THE FRAME USING THE TERMINAL SUPPLIED Also make sure to grind the paint away. Sorry had to make sure I got the point across.

Oh also, do not run RCA's with power wire. Could cause "noise". And the gain on the amp is not a volume knob. And NEVER use bass boost.

thanks for the model number, found out that they have dual 4 ohm voice coils. this amp would work well for them

it has a clip light on the bass knob so you'll know if you're giving them clean power or not.

i know about the gain knob and all that. i set my deck to where i would max it out then tuned the gain to where it sounded good. doesnt bottom out n no distortion. and i know about the rca and power wire thing. thank you.
