Aaron Dominguez Posted September 5, 2013 Report Posted September 5, 2013 I have a 4 ohm DVC Cadence s2 12" subwoofer, I had it wired at 2 ohms to my cadence mono block and put a pioneer 4 ohm svc subwoofer in the other side of the box and wired it to the second set of terminals on my mono block amp and it played for a minute and amp went into protect, I took the wires for the pioneer off the amp and now whenever bass hits the protect light blinks but the amp won't power on
hazestorm23 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Posted September 6, 2013 So your amp has 2 ++ and 2 -- speaker terninals right? If so one set was at 2 ohms and the other at 4 ohms and since most amps internally bridge your final load would be something that your amp might not be able to handle
Aaron Dominguez Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Posted September 6, 2013 Took both subs off of the amp and it don't even power up
hazestorm23 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Posted September 6, 2013 Have you looked inside amp for anything out of the ordinary?
Sergeant_Skyrim Posted September 6, 2013 Report Posted September 6, 2013 Ideally you wouldn't want to wire 2 different subs together, especially in the same box with different voice coil configurations. As for whether or not that's what caused your amp to go into protect, that's a different story... Build in progress

jarrius Posted September 6, 2013 Report Posted September 6, 2013 So you have your amp wired with a 2 ohm load and a 4 ohm load. Since it is a mono block it sees them as 1 sub no matter how many you have hooked up it just sees the ohm load. So with out knowing better you could have dropped the impedance below the minimum rated impedance of your amp and possibly could have made it go bye bye. I would just hook up the cadence sub at 2ohms and see how it reacts to the sub. Also check all your connections to the amp for any lose ones 2012 Chevy sonic1xSQ HDC3 12 D2RF R1200d 140 square foot of Q-Mat(soon to be installed) 140.2Db sealed on the dash with TL 142 DB sealed on the dash with another meter (was dead on with the TL at a show i was at) 141 on music. strangeduck,on 02 Jan 2014 - 01:39 AM, said: when my car spins out i just put the car in neutral, turn in the direction i want to go and pucker my asshole

Krakin Posted September 6, 2013 Report Posted September 6, 2013 Have you checked your power/ground/remote wires? Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist? I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.
Aaron Dominguez Posted September 7, 2013 Author Report Posted September 7, 2013 Have you checked your power/ground/remote wires? I had to recrimp my ground because it came out of the wire ring terminal and I haven't checked it again, I have a new wire ring to put on it
