Multimeter prob on wrong scale. 62v sounds right.

That seems high, especially if you already have an amp and power wire running to said amp. I assume they are not sound deadening? Are they building the enclosure? Making an amp rack? Maybe ask if they can do it for $1200.

Make sure you treat the doors. It really helps the midbass. If you need help with how to do that, let me know. 3 way will pull the soundstage up. Midbass in door. Midrange and tweeter in the A-pillar might work good for you. But then you need to spend money on mounting the mids and tweets with...

That is half the new price, which is a decent discount imo. But demand for that amp has to be low. Id offer $200. The SPL crowd wont want it and people looking to spend more for perceived quality will be looking at amps from Zapco or JL. It is an expensive amp for only 600 watts and there is...

Clipping is when the amp gets overdriven and clips the top of the waveform. It can damage the sub and overheat the amp. It has nothing to do with the subs power handling.

I think 14 gauge would be fine. If you were sending them 1k watts and up, then 12 gauge. I use a short length of knukonceptz 12 gauge for 1k watts.

How long is the wire run from amp to sub?

Interested in hearing about the battery when you get it! If you dont mind, let us know how it works out for you.

Yeah for noise.

I would think if the power wire was shorted, the inline fuse would have blown. Like kickstand, that has also been my experience when I have shorted something. You will know when that happens lol. Sparks and smoke haa I have done it a few times messing around. Once I dropped a wrench across the...

If there is a short inside the amp then there is a fault in the amp. The internal fuse is simply reacting to a short already inside the amp ripping its way through the fets and destroying them. Essentially, saying that the amp's fuse protects the amp from damage is like saying a car's airbag...

Hope it is under warranty and you can return it. Fuses are primarily for protecting the wire from overheating and catching fire from a short, not the amp. It sounds like a component in the amp failed.

Most likely each sub gets 250W. Which amp? Yes, you should reset the gains. I suggest you wire the subs in parallel and bridge the output from the amp.

Correct, he doesn't post there anymore. Got tired of people arguing.
