Sundown 1500D issues

No you do not need to use all the speaker terminals, they're just there to make it easier for you.
Its a mono amp so using jumpers would have no effect as its connected internally.. (unless you're strapping two amps)

Which is what I thought the case was for all mono blocks, but in the manual it does show both positives being used.

what you need to use both might want to read your manual again

The manual does show using both for a 1-4 ohm load and for a 2-8 ohm load they can be used separately. What ohm load are you guys running?

I'm running .5 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Its there because the sub is a DVC and its just showing all the wire coming off the speakers going directly to the amp.

sorry bizzle manual wins everytime especially when he is trying to run it at 1 ohm and if your right i will admit i was wrong however kamanian who has ran many agrees that he needs to use both..

no arguing if your right i will admit it i just know what the manual says you can and cant do to get the power out of it..thats how i understand it..

I'll just try it in the morning and if it works then case closed. If not, we'll keep the ideas coming.

He's correct. It's a mono amp, that would be just like hooking up to juice on a distribution block. Think of it like a car battery with two posts on it so you have more wiring options.

I am right because I do it that way.

Quick question, are you using a breaker any were in youe 0 guage wiring, if so, you should check that breaker, I had a setup with a Mmats amp, and so as the music got good and started getting down, it would shut off!! no protect or anything, just shut off. I was told to check the breakers, and the one close to the amp was bad, The breaker was heating up so bad, the soilder in the breaker would melt, and loose the power current. When the soilder cooled down and settle it self, the power current would start again, giving me music, until it heated and melted again. Just check all your wiring!!
