Sick916 Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 I wanted to set it up for 1 ohm but i guess i dint crimp one of the wires right so this is how my set up was. (Look at pic.) so my amp kept going into protect so im just wondering what ohm was it running at.

JUggER08 Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 it looks like it is running at 1.3 ohm's. but maybe that wire is touchin somthin Quote 1 15'' Mmats Juggernaut 1 Mmats 2100.1 1/0 awg wire 2 Optima Yellow Top Batteries 200 amp alternator Eclipse DD 6620 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylecm85 Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 well it looks like the subs where in parallel but since u didnt say if they where d2 or d4 not sure. If the x marks the spot where the speaker was not hooked up one of the coils waqs not hooked up and that can cause your sub to blow. But if they are d2 they would be at .5 and if they where d4 they would be at 1ohm.

tacomabanga1986 Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 if subs are dual 4ohm and wired in parallel (both pos together, and both neg's together) n then to amp it should be 1ohm but unno why it would go into protect tho unless voltage drop, my memphis amp's protect light would have a hint of ilumination just slightly when the bass would hit when i had it @ 1ohm and its 1ohm stable prolly due to voltage drop but sence i got my single 4ohm subs hardly to none light dimming and louder to some extent, i like to be able to run an amp @ 1ohm but 2ohm seems to be more efficent on electrical every amp in my truck is ran 2ohm and sounds solid imo, try wireing em series parallel to 4ohm and see if it goes to protect Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUggER08 Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 no just 2 ohms since the main wire to the other woofer aint connected. oops Quote 1 15'' Mmats Juggernaut 1 Mmats 2100.1 1/0 awg wire 2 Optima Yellow Top Batteries 200 amp alternator Eclipse DD 6620 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their 4ohms but i should have made it clear that the x is where they weren't connected also that i wanted to know what they where running when they weren't connected right. It would go into protect only after playing after hard bass notes. I thought it was because the diode. But i hooked everything up right now and its hitting hard no more probs.
