    General Confusion

    Start here: http://www.hifonics.com/pdf/Hifonics_Zeus_ZXi_2010_Amplifier_Manual.pdf If your amp is already going into protection mode with your existing speakers, adding a SUB bridged will only cause it to go into protection mode easier.

    I wouldn't have though that!

    Foreign Made Cars Poll

    So you think 8th place on the powerboard is = SLOW?

    UHM... uh.. dude? you sure bout that? I'd wager "there is nothing faster" other than an F1 car.. need proof? OK.. Maybe THIS... --> Top Gear test track - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sure, the standard run of the mill Veyon is the 8th fastest around the track... BUT the Bugatti...

    Question about crossover points

    This is not much different than asking, "what colour of car should I buy"

    Is the Big 3 upgrade good enough???

    That analogy is perhaps better suited to an eavestrough forum. The flow of electricity is often described VIA the flow of water, but for your analogy to work more accurately, you would need to include the resistances developed by turbulent vs laminar flow in the system. There is still a lot to...

    Is the Big 3 upgrade good enough???

    Yes. Completely wrong. 1 foot of 4 gauge will supply far more current than 17 feet of 4 gauge. have you never seen a chart similar to this one?

    If the amp only accepts 4 gauge, then 4 gauge will be enough. Or get a better amp.

    You may end up with dimming headlights, but the short run of 4AWG from the dist. block to the amp won't be the cause of it.

    If your amp is really putting out 750 watts, without even factoring in amplifier efficiency, at 14v, 750 watts is 53 amps. add in 20% waste for heat and it's 63.6 amps. Headlights, and ignition system can easily be 30 amps, bringing the current draw right up to 93.. I'd say you have a pretty...

    They are not bad at all. They simply don't add what the uninformed people claim they add. But a cap, in no way detracts from the performance, and it most definitely acts as a filter, smoothing out any electrical noise you may have - and this is probably not audible. The whole subject is a...

    How to troubleshoot sub/amp problem???

    For sure. I think the OP has accepted the risks.

    How to troubleshoot sub/amp problem???

    Yes. that is his current setup... what are you suggesting?

    How to troubleshoot sub/amp problem???

    he doesn't have a 2 ohm load per channel load to run it that way! From what I gather, he has 4 x 2ohm coils - there is no way to configure 4 x 2ohm coils to give 2 x 2 ohm loads.

    Glad it's all sorted!
