[armykyle1]

you wired it bridged 1ohm?

or 1ohm per channel?

is it this colossus?

running too low of load could be an issue too

Yup, that's it.

I'm pretty sure I wire'd it to 1 ohm, unless a wire got messed up from the port. I'd have to check with a DMM wouldn't I?

Yeah dude, it's one of the 'essentials' of car audio

I know.. I know.

I keep forgetting to go buy one.

If you are running it bridged then it has to be at 2 ohms.....

Ugh... Good question, I'm thinking I bridged it actually.

Left + channel 1 to Right - Channel 2.

Probably the problem...

unless you got D2s you shot yourself in the foot

regardless of how you wired it, you will need electrical upgrades.

stock alt is 130 amps? is what i came up with.

or

a mechman version (which isnt right there on their website)

and about 4-5 XS D3100s

or

Kinetik KHC3800s

(i could be wrong, but this is just to give you an idea of what you'll need to get the most out of your setup)

Well damn, I hope that didn't screw-up my amp.

I'd imagine the BTL's are ok.

I know people say you can't have too much electrical but why spend so much money when you don't need to? he'd be fine with a H/O alternator, biggest batt he can fit up front and 1 maybe two D3100's in the back.

Just looking at the prices of all that makes my wallet hurt haha.

Why did you put an or, are you saying I can get away with just getting that power cell?

Stock battery's in the back. I'm thinking about removing the dummy tire though.

And now that I look into it, the btl's are dual 2 ohm subs. According to this webby, http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard.asp?submitted=true&woofer_qty=2&woofer_imp=3 I may have wired them down to .5 ohm.

Uh oh.
