Exploader1 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I have 2 12 in Memphis mojos with 2 hifonics 2000d's going to each. I noticed one sub wasn't working so I took it out and noticed the speaker one of the wires fell off inside the box and the rubber and plastic was melted off and black..what would cause this?

littlebuck1919 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 wire prolly got too hot?? i guess depends on what size wire, u may have been pushing too much power throught it and caused it to heat up and melt, likely to happen with ur other wire/s too. my .02 Quote Feedback Thread: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/152368-littlebuck1919s-feedback/#entry2177586 i think you'd stick your dick in a blender if it told you it was 40 wtih two kids your age. lol 6/18/82 - 4/17/12 R.I.P. to my sister Shana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vibrator Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 how big is the wire? it could be too small wire or its shorted out a few strands. Quote Henry Ford once received a letter from a depression-era bank robber responsible for the deaths of several law enforcement officers, killed in their attempt to stop him as he fled the crime scene. In his letter, he thanked Mr. Ford for making his Model A Ford such a good getaway car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the plastic melted of the female end i don't think it should get that hot Quote https://www.youtube.com/user/bosko612?feature=mhee check out and subscribe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirill007 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 14guage wire should be good enough for a 2000w amp. Probably a bad connection causing more resistance then normal.

Jaloosk Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I use 12g on my front speakers and 10g on my sub. If you're running 2000w at 14v you're able to run a max of 140A through your speaker wire. For that you need like 4AWG wire, but you're not running full-tilt all the time. Quote "Cheap, good or fast.
