    New Car....need help on 1st SQ build

    Hello everyone. I've been a long term lurker on these forums and has gotten some great info, but now I figure I'd post far enough in advance of my next build to take suggestions into consideration. I've been around the block several times as far as installs and equipment go, but this is my...

    Can Speakers blow an amp??

    Thanks for the in depth explanation. I actually learned a few things from your post! As far as my 'normal' definition I had the radio volume set to about 20 out of 35 and much like you my gains were set to almost 0 as my deck also puts out 4 volts. I also wrote to RF about my issue and they...

    Can Speakers blow an amp??

    So far each time I've only wired up a single 2ohm DVC 12" sub to the amp. It's never seen anything lower than that. This last time as far as my gain set up goes I set my volume at my normal level and set the gains based on the EQ level display on the amp. Nothing peaked consistently and I...

    Can Speakers blow an amp??

    I guess I'm confused then. I bought this amp because I thought it would suit my needs based on the ohm loads it said it supports. So if I'm understanding you guys correctly you're saying that even though the amp is stable at 2 ohms stereo and I'm feeding it a 2 ohm stereo load that it's too...

    Can Speakers blow an amp??

    The front is not bridged at the amp. It's run in stereo at the amp. Front Right @ the Amp = Front right components (1 Mid & 1 Tweet @ 4 Ohms) & Rear Right coaxial speaker @ 4 Ohms = 2 Ohms Front Left @ the Amp = Front Left Components (1 Mid & 1 Tweet @ 4 Ohms) & Rear Left...

    Can Speakers blow an amp??

    I'm connecting 7 speakers in total, so it wouldn't work if they weren't bridged. The amp spec states it can handle those loads, so it should be ok. I have only had issues with subs blowing. When the kicker blew I ran just the speakers in the car without a sub with no issue. I wonder if I...

    Can Speakers blow an amp??

    Yes. I have two sets hooked up. The amp is stable @ 2Ohms on each channel front & rear and the sub channel is stable down to 1 ohm. That's how I had it wired....the two fronts bridged down to a two ohm load on each channel. The amp specs are below: 1400W Total RMS Power, '25 to LIFE'...

    Can Speakers blow an amp??

    I have a RF Power 1000 5ch amp. The front channel is driving my component set up front and the coaxials in the rear. FR = front right component & Rear Right Coaxial & the same for the left. The rear channel is driving a pair of Kicker CVT 8" subs in my doors. I just added in a Pioneer...
