Jared420 Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 actually what are those red wires on there for? thats your prob. you dont need those nah in the first picture the blue wires are how its wired now the red wires i put on to ask if that would be a better way to wire them and then someone told me to series wire it and i made the 2nd picture cuz i wasnt sure if that was series or not. but in the first pic the blue wires are how my sub is hooked up but when i bridge it to the amp the fuse blows Quote 2012 silverado ext cab ltz 24" kmc rims AudioQue 2200 Pioneer AppRadio Alpine mrx f35 4 channel Bose mids and highs Iraggi Alt + stock alt in a DC power dual alternator kit Yellowtop+stock under hood 0 gauge Knu wire Big 3 4 gauge stinger (4 chan wiring) 3 DC 10'' LVL3 with LVL4 parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared420 Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 x2 on the ohm problem, if u have the manual for it, check 2 make sure your amp is bridgeable...some arent....also check to see what the ohm load can be on bridge mode...many amps can only handle safely a 4 ohm load bridged...i hope that helps a little... yea i have the manual it says 460 watt rms bridged @ 4 ohms 230 X 2 @ 2 ohms 150 X 2 @ 4 ohms says it can be bridged Quote 2012 silverado ext cab ltz 24" kmc rims AudioQue 2200 Pioneer AppRadio Alpine mrx f35 4 channel Bose mids and highs Iraggi Alt + stock alt in a DC power dual alternator kit Yellowtop+stock under hood 0 gauge Knu wire Big 3 4 gauge stinger (4 chan wiring) 3 DC 10'' LVL3 with LVL4 parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyjoker Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 i dont think that the amp can take a 2ohm load when bridged, which is what happens when you wire the subs in parallel/bridged, which is why the fuses keep blowing,wiring in series wont help it either.

Ray Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 your sub is a dual 4 ohm sub which makes it 2 ohm. then your trying to bridge it. In stead of bridging it, run what you have to the left + and - .. only use that 1 channel.. and thats all your amp has.

Ray Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 what you are doing now is called parallel, which is the correct way for the amp.
