some one help me, blowing 100 amp fuses

well, your preout is low so that ain't your problem. i don't know why your fuses are blowing now and not before. but i'd put a 150 amp fuse (if you have 4 gauge) cause a 1000 watt RMS amp when turned up high would probably pop a 100 amp fuse. you could find a clamp meter to see actually how many amps your amp is drawing.

maybe the sub is dual 2 ohm and its wired at 1 ohm and is pulling tooo much current. why dont u get a dmm (digital mult-meter) and measure the impedance at the speaker terminal of the sub/box?

ill try that.... but all the fuses are good now.. .amp gets power... and nothing out of the sub plays.. i know its not blown.. theres no reason to..... i had the gain all the way down...... hmmm.......... i hope a wire just came loose on the sub..... also on my rubicon theres something that says

left right

then theres 2 knobs to turn that say .3-5 volts?? as it goes lower it sounds better.... its at like 2 right now

Like stated before, either go get a DMM, or get in contact with the seller to find out the coil config on that sub.

Those two knobs are the gain controls. The numbers represent the preout voltage reqired to get full amp power at that given setting. If you have a 1V preout, then it should be set around 1.

well dam.... figured out..... broken tinsel lead...... really im kinda glad... now i know whats wrong....... im not bad at soldering so ill give it a whirl tommorow
