    does anybody see 2 kicker L7's fitting in an S10?

    i don't have backseats, just the two front seats, and a 3rd door, and i guess one of those little fold down seats on the side of the wall in the back. There's a fair amount of room back there tho, i'm thinking maybe i can get a single 12 box and maybe slide it in there, but i'd have to check...

    does anybody see 2 kicker L7's fitting in an S10?

    my amp keeps going into protection mode, wtf?

    yah, well, the only other thing hooked up to the amp would be the speakers, and yah, that was the next thing i tried, unhooking both the positive and negative speaker wires, and it still goes into protection

    my amp keeps going into protection mode, wtf?

    i got it a little farther today, i recharged my cap, and got it up to 14 volts. The digital read out on the amp now turns on and it reads 14, but the protection is still on, and i have a 150 amp circuit breaker, so i'm sure my fuse is good. All this talk about having a bad amp ain't doin me...

    my amp keeps going into protection mode, wtf?

    My audiobahn 1800 mono amp goes into protection everytime i hook it up. I got it running through a monster cable 20 volt 1 farad powercap. The cap is only running 12.7 volts, so it might not have enough voltage i suppose. I then tried running it straight through to the battery, through a 150...

    power cable inputs on audiobahn mono amp?

    I have the audiobahn 1800D mono amp, 1800x1 at 1 ohm, but i haven't gotten it in the mail yet, and i was wondering if anybody what size power and ground inputs it has, does it only take up to 4 gauge, or can it take 1/0 gauge wire? thanks

    wiring different ohms together

    no, they equal the right ohms, i have two 2 ohm dvc kickers with an audiobahn 1800D mono amp. It's 1200x1 at 2 ohms or 1800x1 at 1 ohm. And i wanted to get that extra 600 watts out of it by finding a way to run my two subs at 1 ohm. Otherwise im only getting like 600 watts per speaker, and...

    wiring different ohms together

    oh alright, my bad, i thought that dual 2 ohm meant that when you added all the voice coils up it would equal 2. I didnt' know it was 2 per side

    wiring different ohms together

    i'm still gettin .125, assuming you use two 2 ohm dvc subs. (1x1) (1x1) equals 1, then square root of that is still 1, so 1 is the top number in your equation. Now (1+1) + (1+1) equals 4, so 4 is the bottom number of your equation, so now 1/4 is what your left with, so maybe that's actually a...

    wiring different ohms together

    i'm still curious about this stuff, what would happen if you did this? wired it in series just like this, but then ran a wire from the negative on one sub to the positive on the other
