Guest Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 why are you mixing amplifiers for the same woofers its probably getting hot because 1, your dropping voltage like crazy, 2, you wired the woofers too low for the amp to handle, and 3, its probably a shitty amp.

wolfpack Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 amps get warm when they are pounding subs, make sure its located in a well ventilated area, if the amp is getting really hot you can add a fan next to it.

The best thing to do is throw that capacitor out the window there completely useless, and when you say 4ohm x 2 and 2ohm x 2 are you saying one of your subs is a dvc 4ohm and one is a dvc 2ohm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 stop buying crapacitors, save your money for something that actually helps your electrical system. btw 2x4ohm etc w/e your describing your subs as makes it super confusing. if you have 2 4x4 woofers you can say you have 2 dual 4 woofers, thats the easiest way to understand it. dual 4 means that there is 2 4 ohm voice coils.
