[QUOTE="fatryan, post: 4042546, member: 550026"] i installed my 260 amp iraggi on saturday and did the big 3 in 0awg. today i built a box for my Q's and threw them in with my M2D2. i was in a huge rush, so i didnt have time to set the gains or check any setting, but i havent touched the knobs since i installed this gear in my blazer (years ago). also, im using all the same equipment, except for subs, so the signal should be identical. well i was headin back up to school tonight and noticed some pretty ridiculous dimming in my headlights even at high RPM and with my HU at just past half volume. my amp is only 1500w cont and my x200.4 isnt currently hooked up. i was thinking about it while driving and realized i ****ed up with the coils. im so used to wiring D4's that i just went ahead and wired my Q's D1's in parallel, so my amp was seeing a 1/4Ohm load [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif[/IMG] the second i realized that i turned my sub off of course. but i started thinking....theoretically at 1/4Ohm id be getting 6kw cont. but there no chance in hell that my amp would be capable of that. but just how much is it capable of? i had some serious dimming and i have a pretty hefty alt. you think its just the coil wiring? or could there be some other electrical issue, perhaps with the big 3? im most likely gonna rewire the coils tomorrow. i just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas incase that not the problem.
