makeitrain420 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 OK, so i have 2 Pionner W309d4 subs. (Dual voice 4ohm 1400 watts and 400 RMS a piece. And a Hifonics Hifi1000 watt amp. Subs are wired at 1ohm and YES the amp is capable of an 1 ohm load. SO the problem is: The protect light on my amp blinks only when the bass hits hard, and it blinks in sync with the bass. WTF!!! The sound quality doesn't change at all and even if i crank the volume or gain up it still sounds fine but the protect light blinks even brighter. ALSO, when i crank it up the lights in my cab dim a lil bit. But i dont understand its a Ford F-150, surely its putting out enough volts to power everything. All of this together really pisses me off. Problems ive considered: 1. shitty wiring of my subs, 2. shitty wiring of my amp, 3. shitty output of power from battery/alternator. SO I REALLY NEED SOME ASSITANCE WITH THIS PROBLEM. Thank you Quote "I don't fuck with bitch niggas, partner" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidd_Bass Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) Its probably your ground I recomend to get a good solid ground on the chasis (bare metal) and Since you are running a 1000 Watts you should upgrade to the big 3 and everything should be good Edited March 9, 2012 by Kidd_Bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makeitrain420 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 did you do the big 3? Please explain this big 3 sir. Quote "I don't fuck with bitch niggas, partner" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zack_e89 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 did you do the big 3? Please explain this big 3 sir. There's your problem. There are topics on how to do it. If you do it correctly, just doing the big 3 with that amount of power(~1000rms) could fix your troubles.
