Too many problems with system

[unard 10+ year member]

First of all....i am running 2 lower end concept 12" to a 2 channnel 600 pyle(of crap).

I fixed a sorry box up and i have wires running from both woofers to one wire wich is bridged (dont know what that called).

My ground is smaller than my power.

My amp keeps over heating and going into protection mode. When it is working right, the speakers move to much. They are constantly going in and out real far even when there is no base hitting. Also, people are telling me that they should hit a lot harder. They seem to not be preforming to its greatest abilitie.

first, fix all that is wrong w ur install

now, ur ground should be the same or bigger than ur power wire.

so if u runni 8awg power, run 8awg ground.

show us how u wired the subs, cuz maybe u dont have them wired @ 2 or 4 ohms, and since prob the pyle of crap doesn't accept low impedances it goes into protection mode.

what kind of box r u using? how big?

well yes it could be going into protection becuz of the ground wire.

it also could be going into protection because its a pyle amp that cannot handle the load.

i'm not too sure about ur subs moving when there isn't any bass.

The box is 3'1",1'8", 1'4 1/2"

It has two ports... 2 1/2 in. height and 2 in. diameter they are on the same face and in between the subs.

The power is 4 gauge and the ground is like 8.

The subs are svc( all i know), about 200 oz magnet.

I have 12 gauge wires running from both speakers. Something that i need to fix results in me haveing to connect those wires to another wire( only one though) and the one wire is bridged.

4 gauge power

svc sub==12g= \ /

===12g==amp(2 channel 600watts)

svc sub==12g= / \

8 gauge ground connected to the bottom the my truck, i have to remove paint and a bolt is holding it down.( was wondering if i could run a seprate wire to the same place).

About the movement...i kind of exagerated....the speakers just move too much....they are working too hard to not be putting out good bass. They sound good when the music is low to about 70(radio goes to 100).
