The Power Doesnt Turn On

If it was like that then maybe it wasn't impedance... but check.

maybe i should just have the 2 subs in parallel instead of 3?

im new to car audio... i used to have 1 shit amp to each sub for a long time and no problems..accept for the shitty quality =)

so it wasnt that i wired wrong...or that i bridged?

We need to know exactly how you wired it.

If you have 2 subs in parallel your amp will still explode. That's 1 ohm, bridging gives you half an ohm per channel and lots of bad smelling smoke. Your amps can only take 2 ohms per channel or 4 ohms when bridged.

i wired all 3 like in the parallel diagram.

but i took out 1 sub and now theres 2 subs parallel

Wire like option #2. 4 ohms bridged should work good, just under powered big time!

this is how i have the sub wired

what if i wired the subs this way?would it be too much for the amp?

thats how i have it and it is underpowered...

do you think i should add a 3rd sub and wire all 3 subs as in that diagram

Option 2.

you would lose power actually if you wired it at 3 ohms, but not alot

the 3 speaker 2.67 ohm load worked well on the lower amp untill i put the bigger amp in and the amp messed up.. some one tells me that the bigger amp looked like its been wet in the past and that it is dirty inside.

i had the speakers set up the same way on the smaller amp ((2400.2)) for a while n it did not mess up....

'Dirty' is probably the smoke from your MOSFETs. Post pics?
