So i got a refurbished amplifier back from kicker and when i hooked it up i checked for dc voltage at the speaker terminals and i am getting 56 volts of DC on the replacement amplifier... Now the amplifier next to it works perfectly and is wired exactly the same... Am i unlucky enough to...

so the amp to putting out dc voltage to the subs and im sending it to kicker for repair today. Thanks for your help!

What are the advantages to wiring as you are suggesting over how i was planning? No offense but it seems more complex? I think i will try kicker first. Thanks!

Ok everything disconnected and amps powered up and one amp shows 43V DC at the speaker outputs. So do i need a new amp?

The amplifiers aren't really strapped as I understand strapping an amplifier.. Please correct me if im wrong cause im ignorant of what strapping amps really is? ...it's more like the signal is split from the rcas to two individual amplifiers and each amplifier runs two subs and you match the...

I tested for AC but got nothing. Ill try dc when i get home... Man im sick. More 💰

I tested for AC but not DC. Interesting this would make sense.

Yeah they have a switch above the connections for parallel and series. According to the manual the way I have it set up is for a 2 ohm load per subwoofer and then two subs on each channel for a 1 ohm load on each amplifier.

Yes compatIble.

No scratching resistance against pushing down seeing normal. They are x-w-10d4 Alpine Subs and kicker CX 1800.1 amplifiers. Each amp was wired at 1 ohm on a pair of subwoofers. One thing I didn't mention earlier was that I accidentally reversed polarities on one of the amplifiers enough to make...

I installed my build today and im not sure what i have going on. 4 subs wired to two monoblocks. When i turned on the key for the first time the subs made a thump and a few seconds later i could hear the subs sizzling and i shut the. Key off.. Subs thumped again and i could smell burnt coils and...

I have a supercap under hood and a headway in the back with my amps.. I just have a stinger cigarette lighter voltage meter but i am thinking about adding a hardwired gauge. Would it be best to wire it to the headway bank?

I am thinking of adding 2 OM-1 output and 1 VM-1 meters in my 08 jeep wrangler. Anyone here use them and do you like them? Also mounting them is going to be a challenge with my existing dash... Thinking about having a shop make some kind of custom dash top single din pod to mount them in...

I have bought xs power agms and a superbank from showtime.. They were a little cheaper than everybody on xs power stuff and was an authorized retailer.. Quick shipping too. I would buy from again.

I finally got my cap screws yesterday and assembled my 96ah bank and connected a HA02 battery equalizer. When i hooked the HA02 up i could hear a ringing coming it and its still making the same noise 12 hours later... Is this normal? Also my voltage dropped from 14.31 to 14.16 over 12 hrs...
