emperorjj1 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 ^^^ tsk tsk he already got it before u. J. JMy CardomainFINISHED COBALT SS/SC DUAL ALTERNATOR PICS theres no such thing as too expensive when it comes to upgrades like that, because imo if you are gonna spend to upgrade then do it correctly rather then be a cheap ass ricer

Derrick824 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 definition of dead short? Dead short = Zero impedance. You wired both +s & -s together and then wired it to the amp. When wiring a subwoofer in series you only wire the - of one coil to the + of the other. When wiring parallel you wire both +s & -s together. Never EVER do you wire both coils + to -. It doesn't matter if you wired each coil to itself or to the other coil. When you wire both together it becomes a dead short. Dead short = fried amp.

Boon Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 Haha, yup, wired to 0 ohms. The impedance reading you got was probably the resistance of your probes + your speaker wire (in fact almost certainly - if you got 1.4 ohms with it wired in parallel (probably 0.7 ohm DCR) then your '0 ohm' reading is actually 0.7 ohms. Basically you just powered a wire, just enough impedance for it to not protect... wires don't get box rise either 10.x volts fo' life!
bennett15 Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Posted June 4, 2009 Haha kind of funny now guess you win some and you lose some $350 mistake but got my soundstream TRX1500D on the way now so ill be bumpin in a few weeks 98 Dodge Durango 12 000K 50/55W Headlights 12 000K 35W Fog lights HU Panasonic CQ-VX100 7" Reciever (1) Fi SSD 18" Fully Loaded (1) Ported box 33hz (1) Soundstream TRX1500D (1) Soundstream TRX2.440 (1) RE 6.5" Component Set (1) Rear battery Big 3 in 0/1 gauge 2 runs of 1/0 Gauge wire 250A Alt soon..
Basshead08 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 So does the hiffonics amp got heaven or...well you know ? System tear out has begun...Out with the old i have a iq of 128 i graduated at the top of my class tell me how im reatrded you are the 1 thats dumb as hell you can't even spell Look at the underlined text hahahahahahahaha I think of it as the virgin losing the virginity technique not just jumping in to it, and pounding away, but going at it slowly over time, to get to that full extreme
Noobtastic14 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 Just realized i've ran a bxi1606 at .35ohm (NET) daily and only popped it into protect a few times. granted once was a 139.9 bass race finals run- but impressive none the less. Hope you like this new amp and learned your lesson from this little ordeal- happens to the best of us sometimes.... -Drew I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.
