amazinblazin10 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 maybe you just don't know how to wire it up or set the gain cause you can still get away with 4 guage on a 1600 watt amp, i don't necessarily think that would cause what you are describing that is happening by if anyone disagrees by all means go ahead i could be wrong but i'm just sayin Quote 1997 Dodge Ram Van 2500 Big III addition with 1/0 awg wiring all throughout Lightning Audio Strike S4.1000.1D Jenson XA2250 2 - 12" Mtx Jackhammers JH55 3ft cubed box sealed under the rear bench seat Pioneer DEH-P6000UB head unit MB Quart FWA 160 components up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH8PunkRok Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 oh lord lets see it appears to me that u have a very poor electrical if the amps lights are dimming. thusly causing the amp to clip and cause all sorts of weird things to happen. and since it happened with two different amps and two different subs i believe i am correct. try installing the amp into a different car. see wut happens and as for the UPS blowing the sub... unless they wall socketed it for shiggles b4 it got to u i cant see how the sub would be blown. physical damage is all they could do Quote -Matt2005 Dodge Magnum RTJVC KD-AVX1 2 PPI S580.2 Obsidian Audio ST1 Horn Tweeters PRV 8MB450s Audio Legion 3500.1D 2 RE MT 18s 360 ah LiFePO4 BatterySHCA 2/0 155.2 @ 29 hzKicker CVR 15's buildDD 3512e buildMini T-Line Build(6) 8s BuildNightshade 15s Wall BuildMagnum AB XFL 12s BuildNewest Magnum Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracker Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 ok cool its not the sub ya just got atleast.and if ya tried two dif amps and two dif subs and the prob is the same then id say triple check it all. a ground could of losened up some over time or something. its not the HU, its not the sub, and its prob not two bad amps so it leaves the wiring. never hurts to check it out again and even take off the ground to rub a lil sandpaper on the metal to make sure thats good for sure too. it might take a min to figure out but sounds like your gettin closer id say soon though man Quote March 2010 SOTM winner my old buildhttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/50219-dank-aka-crackers-bonne-new-v2-build-in-the-works-hahahaaaaaa/page__hl__crackers my youtube page - http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=jackiedan04#g/u my feedback - http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/56540-official-cracker-feedback/ i need tacos and bass to live!!!!! and will NEVER change hahaaaa TEAM NOIZE VIOLATION Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But looks like that might have to be what I have to do. Can I make the Caddy hit in the 140ish area like the truck or is it gonna go down cause it ins the trunk ??
