    Help me figure out why amp is going to protect mode....

    JD377...With car running and music playing at semi loud levels, voltage never went below 14.25 Thanks for the help with the meter. Got 'em wired in series and have 3.5 ohms at the amp now. Pushed 'em about as hard as I did before when amp went into protect and didn't have any problems and the...

    Help me figure out why amp is going to protect mode....

    I've tested and I am getting .9 ohm at the amp. I've checked the wiring and it is correct. This is news isn't entirely bad though. If I wire my speakers in series I'm guessing I should get ~4 ohm which will still give me enough power, my amp will run a lil cooler and my sound quality will be...

    Help me figure out why amp is going to protect mode....

    Thanks on the "how to" and I will retest, but I'm quite certain I've got them wired up correctly. I don't do much car audio stuff, but I've taken a years worth of circuits classes in college. Car audio = DC= easy......AC circuits......not so easy. I came up with the wiring myself and then...

    Help me figure out why amp is going to protect mode....

    what amp to get???

    An ohm is the unit of electrial resistance. The lower ohms you have running on your amp, the more power you get out of it but sound quality goes dowm and your amp will get hotter. The speakers you are looking at have two voice coils. Each coil has either 2 ohms or 4 ohms, depending on which...

    Help me figure out why amp is going to protect mode....

    I have a RF R500-1 amp powering two RF P2D210 subs (500W RMS amp powering 2-300W subs). Subs are DVC and are wired in parallel at 4 ohm's each for 2 ohm's total. Amp is supposed to be 2 ohm stable. After a while of listening rap music or any music with lots of bass, amp goes into protect mode...
