Need help! Urgent :(

[WinC101 10+ year member]

Just installed my system today. Hifonics BRZ1200.1D & a Pioneer TS-W3002D2 .. Wired at 1 ohm. 4 gauge power wires. Everything stock electricity! .. With the level know almost all the way up, the sub don't even move it all. When I turn the bass eq up, it starts to play the bass a little..1200 RMS supposed to rattle things in my car! I have a toyota yaris 2007! I read a lot of reviews that this amp doesn't overheat, but mines get pretty hot after a couple of minutes! I mean this isn't normal! Help me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

get a dmm and check your voltage at the amp and put a pic up of your ground wire where is it grounded at?

This is NOT urgent -_-

Sounds like you have low output from your head unit. What settings do you have on your HU when you are setting gains? How are you setting gains? Also check your grounds.

What head unit do you have? Have you turned the s/w level all the way up then tried?

Is the sub duel coils? If so, make sure you have the coils wired correctly.....

Ensure your ground is tight and sanded down...make sure your subs are wired correctly and not out of phase..check your voltage with a DMM to make sure your amp isnt getting a low voltage

We all did.

But if its getting a low voltage, it shouldn't heat up so fast or at all. Mines do get pretty warm..

Instead of guessing at what it might be, go do some testing. There's advice of good places to start in this thread, which is in the wrong section btw. Also, use the search function, as this has been brought up before.

Id pull the subs and check the wiring configuration, and maybe do a reset on the hu,and retune.Check all your wiring/ground/power,make sure you have the rcas connected properly for sub out ect.Making assumptions rather than testing/trouble shooting, gets nothing done as stated above.here is an area to check to see if you have the subs wired correctly to the proper ohm load of the amplifiers stability

just enter # of subs, and ohm load click wiring diagram= results
