detroitdb Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Are you 100% sure you wired @ a 2 ohm load? if they worked @ .5 they will work @ 2....unless you have a bad coil....pull up woofer wiring diagram @ 12volt.com...and check..... So if he had a bad coil it would still play at .5 ohm? Yes, but not @ .5 ohms double check with an ohm meter...he prob got sound wired that way...but @ 2 ohms he would lose going coil to coil.. https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipP7rjav9cD9UFdAYBJmz4M4LoNlF26ng1xhAf4Uhttps://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipP7rjav9cD9UFdAYBJmz4M4LoNlF26ng1xhAf4U 2013 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T SUNDOWN ZV4-18 CRESCENDO 3.5K PIONEER AVIC 5300 NEX ALPINE TYPE R 6.5S & 6X9'S ROCKFORD FOSGATE 1.5" TWEETS 5 C&D TECH BATTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detroitdb Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 ohm meter check all coils......thats all..pretty sure he will see that most likely a bad coil...or he can wire each sub seperate @ a 4 ohm load to see which sub has the bad coil... https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipP7rjav9cD9UFdAYBJmz4M4LoNlF26ng1xhAf4Uhttps://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipP7rjav9cD9UFdAYBJmz4M4LoNlF26ng1xhAf4U 2013 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T SUNDOWN ZV4-18 CRESCENDO 3.5K PIONEER AVIC 5300 NEX ALPINE TYPE R 6.5S & 6X9'S ROCKFORD FOSGATE 1.5" TWEETS 5 C&D TECH BATTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyblack76 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 i must be lost as per.... So, if there is a bad coil outta the 4, how would they play at .5 VS 2ohm?... i gotta be reading this wrong.? or the amp not protecting??.. guess i dont understand the " my D2 sa 12's wont play @ 2 ohms" but DO play at .5 question?... " just bought a new Vibe Blackbox Bass 5 amp that puts out 1500 rms @ 2 ohms i wired my subs to 2 ohms for 1500 rms and they didn't play so i wired them back to .5 ohms and then they played" Meh,.. par for my course i suppose.. Edit - and regaurdless the issue, nobody reading through this saw nothing weird here? "So if he had a bad coil it would still play at .5 ohm?" "Yes, but not @ .5 ohms double check with an ohm meter..." k, again.. i must be high SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yungw33z Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 i have tried everything and my subs wont play at 2 ohms its like they wont accept signal once wired pos to pos and neg to neg but will accept sinal if wired pos to neg on each sub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yungw33z Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 when i wire them like this they will not play at all my amp doesnt go into protect or blow any fuses so i know its the subs because i always check the wiring wizards after or during my installs and then i use my mutimeter to test the ohm load They don't play? Don't make noise ? Have to be wired wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittlesRgood Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 you are wiring them wrong. its pretty obvious. take a picture of how you wire it and post it. ┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐ If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude.
