I dont understand. I have 4 subs all working in paralell, but the one that the + - terminals start on, is working WAY harder than the other 3. I dont ****ing understand this ****!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif

Nothing can ever go perfectly right.

 
maybe that one is getting a odd load on it from something in the box or just the corner its in //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif or maybe you lost a coil on 3 out of the 4 subs and its the only one that is getting 2x the power :lol:

lol. I dont understand it!

Its visually moving much more than the other 3 that are hooked up. Doesnt make any friggen sense!!

 
yup, I'd say loading issues, or possibly not a good connection on the other 3 subs. When I ran multiple subs I always made sure the run of speaker wire to each woofer was the exact same length to make sure everything was equal.

Whats your box look like?

I'd check each individual coil to make sure they're all near the same impedance. I wouldn't think that there would be a loading issue for only one sub in a symmetrical box.

 
Indeed, bet that made a small difference //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif


I was wondering why I was getting a load of 2, without power, on the voltmeter.
