DUBIE Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 (edited) ok..today i bought an amp from a friend of mine (crunch PZI.250.2) so well i installed it on the car just to test it out....by the way i had 8 gauge wiring for my other amp i have in there so anyways i installed it wired it to a '12' mtx 4500 and someother 10's i had laying around there...so i bridged all three woofers togethere..i believe thats total of 1 ohm load?...so anyways i turn on the car turn the music up 16-35(volume)...and i see lights dim a lil...so i turned it up a lil more 25-35(volume)...then wow light were dimming alot..also the RPM went a lil more lower than normal.i believe voltage drop...it sounded loud! but i see ima need alot of upgrades... what size power wire would i need? what size of fuse?. right now i have 100 amp anl fuses here..would that work?. would i need extra battery(s).? definitely BIG III..1/0 gauge wiring.. am i missing anything?.. and what good woofer would i need for this (crunch PZI.250.2)?..i was thinking on a '15' power acoustik mofo.. i would take any advise from anybody..!

Beanz Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 i wouldent run that amp at one ohm since it is a two channel amp which can only get down to 2 ohms you may end up damaning the amp with that one ohm. here's the stats on the amp RMS Power Range : 250-500 Watts Number Of Channels: 2 Maximum Power: 1000 Watts Built In Crossovers: Yes Channel Separation: Yes Quote That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

RMS @ 4-Ohms: 250W x 2-Ch RMS @ 2-Ohms: 500W x 2-Ch RMS @ 4-Ohms: 1000W x 1-Ch Edited October 25, 2008 by DUBIE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUBIE Posted October 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 what fuses are in that amp 2 (30amp) fuses.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97maxima Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 2 (30amp) fuses.. just making sure .when most of those were made they mistakenly had 2 40s.ive ran that amp @4 ohms mono before and had ok power,but id run it on one woofer.

97maxima Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 it will push it but not that well,youll have to run that amp at full tilt and without the power to let that amp run in that manner it will clip=burnt voice coils.but you need a dual 2 ohm or single 4 ohm woofa Quote American Bass*DC Power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
