amp going in protection mode! have good ground and havent blown 60 amp fuse. not hot . 13+volts

still cant see the pic of your wiring btw

its just like that wiring diagram

[SIDE SHOW]

doubt it..... take it out and check it again

or even check what ohms the amp is seeing at the amp

With everything off you cam leave the subs wired the way they are. Just disconnect them from the amp ohm test the sub. Should read close to 2ohms since you have wired it down to 2ohms.

People seem to be missing something here as far as electrical goes. He is wired at 2ohms. This means the amp could possibly be slightly more efficient and draw less power specially on music since we all know that on music amps pull less power on average.

Imo it would be a good idea to make sure you have wiring going to the amp that can handle the peak amperage draw stated by the manufacturer. Always fuse for the wire near the battery(s). Its not there to protect the amp, its there to protect you from a shorted out wire creating a fire and torching yourself in a car

thats what im doing forsure forsure tomorrow. is its not 3.7 for each coil thats fucked up cause its like brand new . but i did get it from sound electronicx which supposibly only sells B GRADE stuff

i'm guessing it'll be how the sub is wired... might be worth taking it to a decent audio store and ask them to have a look at it

Its possible that a wire came off a terminal on the sub or something even.

[SIDE SHOW]

^^ yeppers or the plastic coating of the sub wire is touching the terminal and not the wire itself

just a side note to this too....i believe i read you cut some of the wire strands out so you could run the 8ga wire. I cant stress enough how bad an idea that is for efficiency.

the easiest thing to do in a situation like that is to use stainless steel bolts,washers and nuts. install ring terminals to your wire that way everything can be done neatly and with good efficiency.
