[/color] The amount of power that runs through the remote wire is negligible, it's fine to run with the RCAs, and if you're asking what kind of wire for the remote, I just used a roll of 16 gauge primary wire that they sell at all the auto parts stores. As i said, very little power runs through...

That's because of the ballast(s) they regulate the voltage and have capacitors to withstand voltage drops, that's nice for the headlights but does nothing to remedy a problem that should / can be fixed.

I assume they are DVC? You can wire them individually to 2 ohm if they are, but your options are 1,4,8 ohm if wiring them together. Just make sure you buy an amp that is 1 ohm stable and you'll be gravy. To wire them down to 1 ohm you need to wire them in parallel, so on each sub + to + and - to...

What exactly is your question? How to move the wires from your old positive terminal to the new one? There's a really good chance that none of the factory wires are 0 gauge, and possibly might be 8 gauge, you're going to need the reducers, such as the 4 gauge one you said you got with it, if the...

Double post

There's so much wrong with everything you just said and I'm at work, so if someone doesn't explain everything that's wrong before I get out, I'll do it in a couple hours. But first of all turn your gain down, it's not a freaking volume control. That's why it's so loud at low volumes because the...

^this being a personal opinion from one person, honestly if you don't go buying junk on ebay there are a few good quality enclosures out there that won't cost an arm and leg. I'd guess that buying a good quality prefab Enclosure would work just fine for your needs.

I guess I'm confused, you said the old amp did 220 x 2 unbridged which implies it was a 2 channel amp. The model hifonics amp that you said you have is a class D monoblock and only has one channel, so it can't possibly have the same terminals as the old amp, it only has one set and the other amp...

Wait... So you went from running a 2 channel amp to running a mono block? How are the subs connected now? If you have both the wires on the single terminal and each sub is wired to 4 ohms, you're actually running at 2 ohms and should be getting 1500 watts, now with that being said, definitely...

RMS Power Rating: 4 ohms: 750 watts x 1 chan. 2 ohms: 1500 watts x 1 chan. 1 ohms: 3000 watts x 1 chan. Do you have your subs wired down to 1 ohm? Dang it, my phone deleted part of what I wrote, no matter, what were the specs of the other amp?

Did you pay attention to RMS power rather than what I assume are the Max Power settings? Please post complete specifications of BOTH amps, or links to a reputable site like sonic or the manufacturer site. If you know neither, please post full model numbers. My first guess is that you actually...

Seems to me at the very minimum you'd be underpowering the sub by 100 wrms, assuming the amp will consistently put out 200 wrms at a 3 ohm bridged load without frying itself, and if you wire it to 6 ohm, the amp would barely be putting out much power, I'd look into buying another, better suited...

In theory, yes, you could run an RCA cable to the back and use a Y adapter for all 4 channels and then in the front get a RCA to 3.5mm adapter and just plug your ipod or whatever into it. I say 'in theory' because I'm not sure exactly how it'd actually work, you'd also need some sort of relay to...

Did you get a chart with your alternator telling / showing it's power curve? Aka how much it's rated for at certain RPMs? Did you go over your wiring again? I feel bad that you keep having to ask the same question over and over, if you're positive (no pun intended!) that your wiring is good, you...

Pretty sure you've gotten all the 'answers' you're going to get. The issue has been mentioned in this thread atleast once, I'm sure of it. So either you've wired everything perfectly, haven't messed up at all and your alternator is defective or more likely something is messed up in your setup...
