[QUOTE="Jeff Davis, post: 6706908, member: 619948"] I an new the forum and also audio installation. I bought a new Kicker ZX300.1 mono amp and one Memphis 15-PR10D4 sub. I took out an old Bazooka Tube form the back of my Jeep for an upgrade. I already had a 8 guage wire hooked to the battery and an 8 guage ground in a bolt in the tub of my Jeep. Unhooked the negative terminal from my battery then wired the amp with the power/ground cables already there. Then I wired the sub for a 2 ohm load and connected everything up. It worked for about 2 minutes then fried. Returned the amp and they said I wired it wrong but sent me a new one anyway. What did I do wrong? Is it the sub? The ground? Or the amp settings? I need some help! Any help would be very appreciated!!! EDIT: On the DVC sub I wired the + to + on the voice coils then ran ONE cable to the amp. Didi the same with the - side. Is that right to make it a 2 ohm signal? This is the only thing I can figure that is wrong unless the 8 guage cable is too small but that is what Kicker recommended for this amp.
