ROLEXrifleman Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 The amp is not drawing current over the 50 amps its fused at. So teh question is why not. Are you sure the speaker load being presented to the amp is 1ohm or are you just going off what you were told? I ran a Fosgate 250x2 off a 60amp fuse full tilt with a 4 ohm load(one 15" solo baric) and never had an issue. And to add to the mix, I had 3 amps running off a 100amp main fuse. 2 Fosgate 60x2's and that 250x2. The 60's had 30 amp fuses to each and the 250x2 had the 60 amp fuse. Rolex you sicken me.

Banshee421 Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Tested with DDM each sub is at 2.3 ohms then brigded at amp is this correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vettedude102 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Tested with DDM each sub is at 2.3 ohms then brigded at amp is this correct It's a mono amp so you can't bridge it. 2 polk audio 4x6'skenwood head-unit 220 amp Mechman alt1979 Corvette 2003 corvette z06 alpine radio and the bose system that came stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vettedude102 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 if you're not wired exactly like this (all +'s together, and all -'s together) then you wired it wrong. If it's wired like this it'll be at 1 ohm. 2 polk audio 4x6'skenwood head-unit 220 amp Mechman alt1979 Corvette 2003 corvette z06 alpine radio and the bose system that came stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee421 Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Its a mono but has 2 outputs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tito DeLatorre Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 i thought this was that one competition where the speaker wire is fused at like 40,50,60 and 80amps. but oh god was i wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee421 Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 So i have one sub at 2 ohms plugged in slot 1 and the other at 2 ohms plugged in slot 2 so it not bridged because it a mono not two channal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRON Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Basic DC electrical mathematics: Amps x Volts = Watts > 50 x 14.4v (optimal) = 720w So if your amp draws more current (provided its availabe without dropping the voltage) a 50 amp fuse will blow beyond 720 watts, in theory* Same thing but backwars to figure how big of a fuse to allow 1500 watts Watts / Volts = Amps > 1500w / 14.4v = 105a...again in theroy* *none of that includes calculating efeciency, impedace rise and all the other fun stuff that affects amplifyer output 200a fuses are your best bet. And of course, what others are saying is true, get bigger power wire.
