tcilluffo2 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I've checked the ohm reading and the subs are coming in at a steady 1.5 ohms. They are run into the amp bridged and the amp is running 1 ohm. I'm not 100% confident in my multimeter and would say that the subs are actually at 1 ohm. As far as the ground I do not have a big 3 and am somewhat skeptical of them. In any case would most agree this is a grounding issue? The more they are played the more odd the amp is being. Sometimes I won't have any issues and can pound no problem, others it will get in a mode where no matter what it won't even have an input of speakers connected and it will go right into protection mode. These are the types of things that are confusing to me, why isn't the problem continuous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corvettesundown Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 why don't you just wire them at 1 ohm each and put them on their own channel being as you have a two channel amp? The amp is supposed to be bridged at 2 ohm and your bridging it at .5 ohm which is putting it in protect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarrius Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 All of what every one alse just said and your electrical. From what I'm seeing your running stock alt 1 battery and 1/0 wire. No big 3 no high out put alt and you will need more batts in the back to hold that thing. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one in the front and one in the back charging off the fuse block that is under my back seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcilluffo2 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 If I may, I have a trailblazer with the optional Bose system and with that system there is another amplifier. I know the remote wire is just as a sense wire but could the combo of the two amps draw to much current off the remote wire? I have noticed the head unit backlight dimming when the system is up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikitaaa Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Instead of wiring to .33, just wire it to 1.3 and call it a day Save the low wiring until you get another amp to match the one you have or a better quality amp that is stable at lower impedences.

DubNDodge Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 If you have 1 sub, and a 2 ch amplifier, you can either wire each coil up on it's own channel. OR only use one of the channels on the amp with the sub in parallel. Pretty sure those subs aren't rated for 6k so I would just use one channel wiring parallel. I wouldn't even wire a channel per coil unless you have a proper way to gain match the channels. or w/e it's called edit: those subs are rated for 1.5k. and nate said that is 1600w x2 so I would just wire to one channel. tuned properly of course. or wire each coil to it's own channel and make sure they are gained matched.
