jarod027 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Okay quick background, i have a brz 1700 and a pair of skar vvx 10s. Well here's my problem, about a week into having my new system installed they just stopped working, I pull the subs out and see the wires burnt to a crisp; thinking it was a fluke i just rewired them and re-installed it (dumb, i know). It's been a few weeks since then and now have the same problem again, so I really need to figure out what I did wrong. That is where they are burning, any tips on how I can fix this is greatly appreciated, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassrace Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Are your connections real tight? If not a loose connection can cause issues.

OrionStang Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Instead of splitting the wire where your problem is, run two wires from the amp. Two each from the positive and negative speaker terminals, so each sub gets its own wire. It will create the same ohm load.

sactownstang Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 redo it with some 10 gauge wire, check your resistance. I would think something was shorting as to burn it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarod027 Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 yeah I have all three wires spliced into one at the point it is circled. I thought about running a wire per sub but didn't end up doing it originally. Is that my safest bet, rather than making different connections like fused or something else? wiring isn't my strong suit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
