[QUOTE="Plutoman, post: 5259406, member: 601528"] Ok, to address a few things - running it on 4 channels, and running the front sets of speakers is going to mean I have the equivalent of a 4 ohm speaker that wants 120 wrms, when I only put through 55 to it. Not to mention the rear ones will be a bit starved for power. I'm trying to get the most volume wise out of this here - as I'm not one to care for fading all that much. Doesn't bother me. If I bridge it, and wire it down to the two ohms, I'll have speakers wanting 210 wrms and getting a bit more than that. As in - wire front two in series - to 4 ohms. Parallel with the back 4 ohm speaker down to a 2 ohm load. On the two sides of the car. And, I don't have any distortion - I was meaning the amp cuts out in the same relative volume level of when I was running them off the head unit at max undistorted volume - sorry for poor wording -.- I kept the levels around the 2v mark, and it ranges from .2v to 6v. I know how to set the gains (theoretically - I did read on how to do it), but I didn't know that was a gain knob. My zx750.1 I'm dumping off had a knob that actually said gain -.- Also, I did the math with resistance. I didn't pull enough to warrant the bigger wire regardless - but my ground does quite ****. Anyways, consensus seems that its my ground wires here. My problem was that I had no extra wire, and I wanted to get this working. I'm picking up some more wire today, and I have the ring terminals and bolt marked. Will this fix the problem of the amp shutting off into protect? Btw: 6x9's aren't for bass - but I do like the hear the drum kicks, and I don't get much of those when the amp shuts off as soon as they hit. [/QUOTE]
