Read the manual!

Just a lesson learned. My amp is rated 2 ohm stable so I wired the sub for 2 ohms and connected it in bridge mode. Amp protection kept tripping at high volumes. Went through the fine print in the installation guide and what do you know! - in bridge mode the amp is rated for 4-8 ohms. Rewired the sub and bingo! Big improvement and no tripping. They write those manuals for a reason - next time I will read it in detail and save some headaches.

I just like pressing all the buttons and turning all the knobs to see what happens //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yeah, most of the time when i at least dont "skim" through the manual i make little minor mistakes, it always helps to read up before you start an install.
