I am not a car audio guru but did do some reading and research and this is the first amp I installed but when I rechecked the specs on the amp •Picasso Nano Series 5-Channel Class D Car Amplifier •RMS Power Rating: ◦4 ohms: 60 watts x 4 chan. + 200 watts ◦2 ohms: 80 watts x 4 chan. + 350...

Thanks Jeffdachief but head unit does not have settings. I'm thinking the amp is not right for the subs wired the way they are at 2ohms. Also may have screwed up amp because now I cant get higher then a 10 volt reading.

Thanks Shamim93 It is a 5 channel amp. The way I have the subs wired is plus to plus and neg to neg so yea they are wired parallel for some reason I did not realize it changed ohm impedance. I thought I did a enough research and had wired right Is there a way to wire them so they maintain 4...

I have a 71 GTO convertible that back in the day I thought nothing to cut up dash or door panels but now I'm keeping it original looking as possible. here's what I got going on and my problems. The head unit that fits in the dash without cutting it is probably a retro sound unit(not sure) I...

speakers are JL Audio connections are a female spade type connection one looks to be 3/16" pos and maybe 1/8" for neg but it seems like when you go to a bigger gauge wire connectors get bigger but I will definitely check out the suggestions. Thanks

How do you guys connect 12 gauge wires to your speakers I cant seem to find connectors that will accept 12 gauge wire. Is there somewhere online to buy them. All I see is the blue connectors I think are for16 and 18 gauge. Thanks

Ok Thanks guys yea I had this car for about 25years first thing I did was cut it up for a Clarion stereo/speakers back in the day cost a lot to replace parts and have retored wont do that again. I'll look into some front speakers and will get back to yous Great forum Thanks again
