Are they correct or just blathering lol

they said that my dash and front speakers are wired in parallel and that I could go with a 4 channel amp, bridge the 3 and 4 to the sub, as long as its 2 ohm stable and I'm already at 2 ohms to the dash since those speakers are wired in parallel in the factory loom. The amp is 2 ohm stable unbriged

Wired in series gives you a 4 ohm load on the amp. If the amp is rated at 4 ohm bridged (2 channel) then I think I should be fine. I was going to get the 4ohms because kicker sells those and the representative at crutchfield recommended me to get the 2ohms instead lol. The amp suddenly went into...

So I was re-setting the gain controls by using a meter and set it to AC volts to the speakers output of the amp while playing the 1khz test tone. I calculated to find the voltage that i need to set the gains to and I got v=12.64. Voltage = square root of watts x ohms. My amp watts RMS is 440...

Surprisingly, the amp decided to get out from protected mode. All the wires were off except the power, remote and ground of course. Then I connected them one by one to see if the amp would go into protected mode and it didn't. The 2 speakers are working perfect. I don't know why the amp took...

Exactly. If it was a stray wire, the amp would have been in protection mode since day one. This happened after I added a new subwoofer. I think my 2 weeks old kicker amp is done. Now I can't get it out from protection mode. Disconnected all wires except power, ground and remote, still in...

Thanks a lot for the replies guys. I wired the sub in series so it gives me 3.5 ohm aka 4ohms How can I match it to my aftermarket rca output voltage?

I recently purchased a pair of JBL 631, kicker 46CXA360.4T amp, RCA's, the recommended 8-gauge amplifier power wiring kit from crutchfield, a Kicker CompVR 43CVR122 sub and the speaker wires 16 gauge. Everything went fine until I added the sub wired in series, bridged using 3 & 4 channels as...
