crav1n Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 so I have 4 kicker cvr 12's in my jeep running off a ap 30001d I have each set of 2 subs, wired to 2 ohms. one set per channel. but I went to test the ohm loads on each set with my multi meter, and it fluctuates like crazy. it'll wind up to 2 ohms slowly, like normal, but then like keep climbing all the way up to around 4 ohms. what would cause it to fluctuate so much? I know the wiring is correct cause I always use the diagrams on the12volt website..but does anyone else have any input? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnderLoK Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Don't check them while they are hooked up to the amp. If they weren't it's either your DMM or they are starting to burn up.

crav1n Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I tried it both hooked up, and un hooked. they're going bad cause they're brand new. and I have tried another meter,and it did the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanharu4913 Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I tried it both hooked up, and un hooked. they're going bad cause they're brand new. and I have tried another meter,and it did the same thing Pretend U never tested them and sell them as new? jk of course Try to get a refund/replacements if wat ur saying is true. Also are u trying each individually to see if its all the subs that are going crazy or just them linked up. Could be 1 or 2 bad subs and maby not all of them.
