In the end, I am just gonna sell the BPX500.1 and just buy an amp that can do 500w+ @ 2ohms.

Looks like my amp can't handle a 2ohm load then..time to unload it and buy a Autotek Mean Machine!! audiobahn: I went on sonicelectronix to find a SX1500, but all they had was the ATX line and the smallest they have is the ATX2000, but for only $125. Don't you think thatd be overkill for these...

Oh alright I'll look into that. And on a side note, I think of my subwoofers is shitting the bed :/ I noticed the other day when its in my ported enclosure with my other sub, its hitting a lot harder for some reason and I hear a lot more air coming from it compared to the other one..if that...

Any thoughts?

Hey do guys think I should sell this JBL Crown BPX.500 Amp and get something like an Alpine MRP-500 or a Kenwood KAC 8104D?

Hmm they definitely sound different...not as much as a punch as before..

Awesome thanks for that info. The reason I asked parallel is because on the back of the amp there is a setting for either 2ch/bridged or parallel. Do I want to hook It up like a 2 channel and put the switch to two channel?

Yeah I gotcha. I would get the same amount of power running them to the amp seperately? so they would be running in parallel correct?

JBL BPx500.1 That says there that it can do 2ohms. And the guy who had it hooked up in his honda before me had no problems..hooked up the same way..hmmm

Each subs wires come out of the box separate and then they meet at the amp and the two positive wires combine and the two negative wires combine, so they are running at 2 ohms Many people say this amp can't do 2 ohms but I know it can, I did the research

Ha yeah just the coolest lol. I think I should ask where did you ground YOUR amp because I actually don't think mine is very good, haha. I didn't set my gains, I had a local audio shop do that

My amp, JBL Bpx500.1 is blowing the two 30a fuses in the amp when the volume is around 30, which according to my local audio shop, I can go up to about 35 before distortion. The amp is pushing two 12" JBL Gt5-12's 4ohms svc each. And all the settings on the amp are right as they did it. I have...

Yep I posted in this thread that I got my battery checked at Advnaced Auto and it is good, however is stock from 10+ years ago. I do listen to a lot of mixtape/underground type music but even on professionally recorded music I get dimming while listening to my music normal-high listening volume.

Just replaced the amp ground in the back with some KnuKoceptz 4ga I had from the big 3. No difference in dimming or voltage.

Okay I'll look into doing that today. The song that makes my lights dim the most is Young, Wild, and Free by Wiz. The beginning bass notes are hard hits that make the lights go nuts. So I am going to re-do my amp ground today and report back. Thanks!
