[Jeremy Roy]

Here is everything i have installed then ill. Share my problems.

2-12"pioneer dvc ts-w3002d4's

1-boss blx 5000 2 channel

Pioneer deck-DEH-8400BH

Pioneer DEQ-7200 audio processor

Pioneer 6x9's -rear deck

Pioneer 6.5's -doors and 3/4" pioneers in doors

Power wire is 2/0 ground is same size also have a 3 fared cap and have done the big 3 upgrade

Inline fuse 100amp. At battery and d block with 2-100 amp fuses

Now my problem is i have my subs wired. To the amp at 1 ohm multi meter says1.4 ohms the amp is 1 ohm stable in bridged mode but wen i turn the volume up the fuse blows sometumes at the d blocck sometimes under the hood ????? Can anyone tell me wut iam doing wrong please????

Pics would help...

Also, ditch the amp, ditch the capacitor...

it isn't stable at 1 ohm bridged. that's your problem

ya i figured the amp wasnt to good and so no cap?also is the 2/0 to big for my power wire?

it isn't stable at 1 ohm bridged. that's your problem

ok i misunderstood the specs on the amp ill wire them in at 2 ohms then or 4?

[FosgateLife]

You have to check the wiring on the subs to even see if they are 2 or 4 ohm stable.

Yes ditch the cap because they are eye candy, and put more stress on the electrical system including the amp.

2/0 is very good, it just depends on the brand and OFC or CCA

Your problem might also be that you have 2/0 wire fused with 200amps, should be 400 amps as long as its under 20'.

To be honest i dont think the brand of the 2/0 power wire is to good. Wen i bought it. I. Didnt know. Half of the little bit i know now after countless hours i spend daily researchin car audio tryin to take in everything i can i jus went and got wit the thought that bigger power wire was wut i wad after not once did the thought of. The brand cross my mind but i feel dumb now cuz common sence should of told me to get a good quality so ill be replacin it in the next few days along wit inline fuse and d block and as far as my cap its in the storage closet i took ir out soon as. Fosgatelife said to ditch it i am stuck wit my sorry boss amp fo a while but will be replacin that soon as possiable

Kranny is right. Look at this page in your amps manual:

http://www.manualslib.com/manual/218019/Boss-Audio-Systems-Blx3500m.html?page=12#manual

It says bridged mode goes 2-8ohms while non bridged goes from 1-4ohms. IMO running them unbridged at 2 ohms will be your best bet if you want to keep the equipment you've already got. Wiring diagram is shown below for 2ohm operation on each sub:

Don't run bridged unless you want to bridge at 4 ohm and wire your subs like this:
