i just installed my homeboy's amp n speakers n the amp just all of a sudden cut off..... n wont turn back on...... the ground n power are good but it dont power the speakers...... i wired them parallel and i was wondering... i ran the wire through the first red terminal and to the other reds on the other sub.... n vise versa with the negative..... is that wrong? or should i just run one wire from the first set of red terminals on the first sub and the second sub to one wire connected to the terminal outside the box with like one of those T connectors? PLz Help Me

Need more information. Does the amp turn on? What voltage are you getting at the amp? Have you tried any othey subs on the amp? Also, I don't even understand what you're saying in your first post. Is it one DVC sub?

i did it like this i dont think this is right n i hope i didn't **** up the amp because i tried mine on it and it didn't work... at first when we first hooked it up it bumped but then after awhile it stopped all together is this the problem? im thinkin i shouldnt run the wires through the terminals of the first sub... but instead use a T connector to connect the first sub to the power source and the second sub just gets the end of the wire ran through it... is that how it works?

We need at least two things. specs and or make model of the amp, specs|coils on subs. I'd be willing to bet the amp was run below stable impedance and is toast.

****... even if it was only for like a few minutes?..... the amp is stable at 1 ohm thats y i was wiring them parallel but i was wondernig if running the wire through the first subs terminals would mess up the ohm load.... u know instead of using a T connector

the power light is on and the protect light has not even blinked once..... the amp doesn't smell so idk what the heck is wrong with it

what kind of amp is it, ohm of the subs we need this info dude.

 

[Dynamo8706 10+ year member]

the subs are 4 ohm dvc 12cvr going to a 1200D X-File Audio Amp which is 1200@ 1 ohm, 800@ 2 ohm, and 400@ 4 ohm...
