Well im having trouble with this setup , i had it connected , bridged. the positive to the positive , negative to the negative. They came in a factory box already connected. But im having trouble , everything was fine , was bumpin for awhile like an hour , then it just shut off. Now every 10mins or so , it just shuts off on me. What would be the problem? has it happened to anyone?
gonna need WAY more information than that, what amp, what subs, what ohm rating are they, how are they wired inside the box, how is the amp wired to the box...
sounds like the amp is going into protect though
Probably not 2 ohm stable bridged.
you need to find out what ohm they're wired at from the factory
If it's a prefab I'm guessing SVC 4ohm on each which would render a 2 ohm load. I know a lot of amps aren't stable bridged at 2 ohms and that's my guess as to what's happening.
could be, and if that's the case that amp is fuxored
Yep, he probably blew something
what you mean fuxord?Quote:

Not sure , its prefab , and its 2 kickers , 4 ohms each , the amp is kenwood kac 301xt i think.Quote:

turning on and off every ten minutes sounds more like going into protect from having a too low impedance on the amp, however you will eventually blow ur amp if u havent already
If you're savvy enough to check the wiring on your subs, make sure you're in series between each sub. You'll put an 8 ohm load on the amp which it CAN handle bridged.
Yeah i think its happened to me before with an alpine amp , it smelled burnt lol. well this one hasnt just yet really , atleast dont think , i mean it still turns on , but i just disconnected for the mean time , didnt want it to happen again , if it hasnt already. How do u kno if its blown?Quote:
