Im going to unbridge it to a higher ohm load and test it. Theres barely any bass un-bridged though, thats why he has it bridged. understandable because its a 4 channel amp, its what he has to work with right now though. Its just weird because I had that same setup, with 10 guage wiring (he has 8 not 10) and I never had a problem with it cutting out at all. It has to be a voltage drop. I will try the higher ohm load and see what happens.

I realize the amp sucks to everyone else, hes on a severe budget. We have all been there so I think most of us can sympathize.

not to be an asshole, but he has to deal with it not being loud. unless he wants to blow shit up then he has to face that his amp isnt good and doesnt output much power.

I understand that. My biggest thing was how come when I had all 4 channels bridged and smaller power/ground wire It didnt cut out but his did. Re-grounded, unbridged and solved the problem. Didnt need a reground but we did it anyway. Its not longer cutting out because its unbridged and the eq is set now so its as loud as its going to get until he does a complete overhaul.

did you bridge yours to 2 ohms or have a stereo load of 1 ohm? if so, then i dont know. if you didnt, then thats his problem.

I agree with several members on here, the amp is not made to have a drop in ohms like that, i learned the hardway by blowing my amp.

yes, same sub that was in my car wired the exact same way in his car. Its just odd.

anyone else see the epic fail in this post??

never, EVER put higher amp fuses than what was originally in there...

yeah, i saw that too. even if the friend is broke... fuses are cheap.
