My amp is either in protect mode or died ..

better go over the way you wired them, even though you think you might have wired them right, you probobly wired them to a to low of an impedence for the amp to handle. better double and triple check. thats what i believe your problem is

if u dropped the ohm on the subs by mistake the amp is having a tough time getting the juice through tha 12gauge. switch it up and see wat happens my dude. 12 is usallly for speaker wire not used for power try and 8 or better yet a 4 gauge.

The issue is the amp driving his comps ~ not his substage //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

uhh .. well .. the wiring i know i didnt mess up because i took them out and replaced them one by one .. so i know i wouldnt mess it up .. so... yea .. i just bought some 8gauge and a distro block and a ground block from knuconcepts ..

whoops lost train of thought my fault my.

lol .. well yea ill double check the wiring .. and ill try to stack the grounding spots .. instead of 2 diff locations .. but i have to wait til my 8gauge comes in with the distro blocks .. then ill be able to see whats wrong .. but i think it might be the amp -_- which will mean that i need to spend another 100$ or more on a new amp..

what is flashing on the amplifier.....and I would assume it is a class A/B amplifier?

 

[DjiNN 10+ year member]

the light is flashing .. where it says if its on... i could take pics

 

[xplicitACTS 10+ year member]

sounds like a shorted output/s

smallwire

cranking it

bad ohmage

and number of things but that 12gauge wire seems suspect.

 

[DjiNN 10+ year member]

well i double checked the wire to see if it was a 12gauge .. its a 10gauge so my fault on the wire mix up .. but my 8gauge should be coming in .. and ill see how that goes .. and as for the amp .. i really think its dead ../blown .. *sighs*
