I just put in a 4 channel amp in my ride that will cause a hiss through my speakers if I put the gain more than half way up on both the front and rear channels. I had a 2 channel amp in before this one and it didn't cause any noise problems even with the gain all the way up. Is their something I...

I am trying to figure out what size fuse i need for my system. Looking over the web i've heard that you need the same size fuse as the current of each amp or the fuse/s that are on the amp. I have 2 30awg fuses on one amp and 1 50awg fuse on another- so should i use a 110 size fuse? I was...

I need help figuring out if I have the right distribution block for my system. I have 2 amps, a 2 channel for my sub that will be putting out about 300 watts rms, and a 4 channel amp that will be putting out a total of 300 watts rms for four 6 1/2" speakers. I will be running 4 gauge wire from...

I have a phoenix gold xs2500 2 channel amp that can handle 2 ohm bridged or 1 ohm stereo. Also I have a jl audio 12w6 dvc sub i want to hook up. Ive looked over the web and seen that i can run it at 3 ohm. That is what i would like to do. I understand how to wire the sub, but not the amp. I just...

do i need to use all four speaker inputs ++ and -- on my amp when hooking up my dvc sub to a 2 channel amp or can i use just one+ and one - input/ one + for the right channel and one - for the left channel. I dont want to bridge my amp and my amp shows left + and right - are used for bridging...

i was thinking of wiring my two 6 ohm dvc subs to my two channel amp in parallel, giving out a 6 ohm load then bridging it to my amp. Is this a good idea?

Thanks for the info. It helped explain the wiring. I'm still wondering, if you bridged the 2 channel amp when powering the subs at a 6 ohm load, would it improve the output? How would it sound?

I have 2 6 ohm dual voice coil subs. Ive read that you can wire these subs to a 2 channel amp and get either 1.5 ohms or 6 ohms. Do you wire both subs to just one channel on the amp or two? If you wire the subs up to get 6 ohms, can you bridge the amp to get more power?
