HOW DO I wire AN 8ohm realistic40-102 and a 4ohm Rockford fosgate S1-84 to a PLA2570?

So there is no way...Its not like Im trying to turn heads, I just wanted to increase my bass to hit...I could run only the one Rockwell, but I wanted to get it to hit hard!

Rockford lol... That would be the best bet...

I just hooked the 4 ohm rockwell into one channel and pushed it and it went into protection within a minute again!!!!Is the problem my amp?!?!

go get a DMM, turn stereo off and measure the OHM value at the amp's speaker terminal and tell me what it reads.

 

[Henry De Roche 10+ year member]

which terminal? the one that I hooked up the rockford up to? both the + and the -?

 

[shizzzon 10+ year member]

yes, measure exactly at the same terminals the 4ohm driver is connected too.

@200 +=1.8, -=5.2

 

[shizzzon 10+ year member]

1.8 ohms.. that's a 2ohm nominal load... not 4ohm!

This is why your amp is still going into protect.

Sounds like its not a good amp to begin with. IIRC thats a Pyle amp. Pyle is synonymous for pyle of ****

edit: why are badwords censored when I say them, but others can drop f bombs all day and not get censored and some even have fewer posts than me.

Well I don't exactly have options yet. This is my first system and its going to take time for me upgrade($) and learn this stuff. For now if it works Im happy, and it doesn't. Thank God for the internet, otherwise Id be screwed. Shizzzzon, how do I make it work with what I got?

 

[shizzzon 10+ year member]

wire only your 8ohm sub to it bridged. That sub has to work with that amp..

 

[Henry De Roche 10+ year member]

BTW that was with the speaker wires still in it.

 

[Henry De Roche 10+ year member]

how do I do that?

 

[Henry De Roche 10+ year member]

Do I connect the red to the right+ and the black to the left-?

 

[Henry De Roche 10+ year member]

it doesn't specify the channels...it goes ++-- so would it be 1212?
