Poor electrical.or poor choice of amps id say.or lack of knowledge on setting gains and filters

Budget ? 2 ohm or 1 ohm stable ? New or used and how much power ?

nothing less then 0 gauge OFC wire if you plan on pushing 2 Xcons. Have you done the big 3? What are your voltages reading at? Also your amp choices coulda been a lot better, none of those amps can even come close to powering two Xcons... Scratch that it wont even fully push a single Xcon 12. Most likely your subs are D2 wired in parallel and those cheap amps cant handle a half ohm load along with low voltages its a recipe for disaster.

Well any amp u get to properly push a pair of xcons will require 0gauge and at least another battery possibly a ho alt..whats ur budget?

 

[numbnutts]

My budget is a couple of hundred, subs rms is 1750 each. Plus they sitting in a prefab box and thats going too

Lol im all screwed up in the game right now. Friends tell me taramps or sundown. Those are way out my league

No big 3 was done my battery readings is 14.5

Well not gona get much of anything decent for a cpl hundred ...esp with having to ditch that box and upgrade wiring/batteries

you should stray away from those junk brands of amps, they seem like a good deal on a budget but your actually sinking more money than necessary buying pretty much bricks and doorstops. Might want to let your budget grow and either get two 2k rms amps, one for each xcon, or a single QUALITY amp that can handle a half ohm load.

For budget 0 gauge wiring look up audiotechnix or execution audio

for amps, best in price and performance ratio would be crescendo bc 3500, soundqubed/audioque 3500 (i know its a lot but well worth the money, so save up)

350 fuse under the hood.

Was that 350 a typo?
