kicker zx850.4 problem

[RickyFriery97]

ok ive got a kicker zx850.4 runnin one side of my suburban (2 rockford 6 1/2 per door)

then a older kicker kx700.5 runnin the other side(2 rockford 6 1/2 per door)

so when i have the volume up around 30-32 on my alpine headunit and if i turn the gain up on the kicker zx850.4 it will go into protect

i have no clue why

its grounded directly to my D3100 and same with power right off the D3100

kicker 4 channel RCA`s

my kicker 700.5 dosent go into protect at all and i can turn the amp and headunit all the way up

i tried hookin ip the 850.4 on the wires and rcas that the 700.5 was on and the same thing happend went into protect

anybody got any ideas??

i still got the recipt but its been over 6 months i might be able to exchange it at the shop

thanks for any help

I have to ask, but why do you have 2 amps power 4 sets of comps......?? That 850.4 kicker can power all of them @ 2ohm stereo...

[RickyFriery97]

It's only one set of comps the rest are two ways

I wish I wouldve got all comps but I didnt

How would I get them all to 2 ohm stereo??

Why is one amp powering one side and the other amp powering the other side? You need to use one or the other, if your hell bent on using both use one for front and the other for rear.

I would rather use just the 850. 4

But I don't know why it keeps going into protect..

Its easy sir.... Im guessing all the speakers are 4ohm (pretty common) wire the front together, that will give u 2ohm, and wire the rears together, another 2 ohm load.... Use the newer kicker 850.4 and watchout..... ur amp will produce more power, and should sound good...

Yea I'm going to try that I just looked it up

The amp does 215 watts x 4 RMS at 2 ohms

Maybe I have something backwards somewhere and that's why it's going in to protect

I'll just re wire it
