Crunch gp3000 .... not putting out?

[maniackilla 10+ year member]

I hope I'm not rere on this one, but I'm having issues getting power, i'm also having troubles with protection mode when my gains are up.

Subs: 2x Soundstream T5-15"

7.5 cube box @ ~32hz

I have each sub wired in series to give a resistance of 4ohms. I then parallelled the subs to give me a 2ohm load. I "bridged" this 2 ohm load on the amp, but it seems no matter how the subs or even 1 sub is hooked up, it's not giving me more power when I bridge. Why?

I have the head unit subwoofer output turned way up, have the gain at 80%, and the bass boost maxed out and it's still putting along with power. What am I doing wrong?

It was clever, but I don't want that to detract from what's up. Did anyone read the rest of the post lol. I don't get it *confused* I WANT POWER

What voice coils do you have?

dim the lights and turn on the Barry White

each sub is dual 2ohm. each sub wired to 4ohms.

4 and 4 gives me a 2ohm load.

I thought bridging would knock this to 1ohm. It's acting like it doesnt even wanna put out the power it would at 2ohms though

I thought gp 3000 is a mono amp?

How are you bridging it?

Yeh it is:

GROUND POUNDER MONO BLOCK D-CLASS AMPLIFIER GP 3000 D-PRO

Wire that shit at .5 and wang out

I think its stable at .5 according to tests

For real... how are you bridging a mono amp with out linking it to another amp...? O_O

?!?!?!?!

I just want to wire this thing at 1ohm and get my power. Is something wrong with the hookup? Im not looking to take it to dinner, or .5ohm it and blow warranty, I just wanna know what's wrong. My temporary boss powerdrive 1000wrms amp was pushing more power than this thing. Was wired exactly the same.

You cant get 1ohm with 2 dual2 subs

.5 or 2ohm only with am mono amp

Do everything over again up until the point you bridge...dont do that
