What's wrong here

[neek804 10+ year member]

I have this amp

Alpine MRP-M850 Mono subwoofer amplifier 800 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms at Crutchfield.com

And 2 of these subs

Pioneer TS-W257D4 (tsw257d4) - 10" Subwoofers - Sonic Electronix

I believe I have them wired correctly to the amp but the problem is when I turn the volume up in my car the subs cut off but the amp is still on

This is how I have them wired to the amp

Well if your subs are d4, then you either have it wired to 1 or 4, i'm assuming 1.

That amp isn't stable at 1 ohm.

Solution: New subs different impedence or amp that handles 1 ohm or puts out your power at 4.

Thx man any suggestions for a sub or amp

And I was told to wiring them like so in the last link is that right?

I guess I need a stronger amp to push them I checked my ground that's fine..my remote wire kept coming loose from the amp it was too short so I connected more wire to it so I could be long enough

But to be honest could it be the fact that the Ring terminal that's connects to the batter under hood is not really connected properly to the battery I really have it on the fuse box but the rings are not big enough to fit around the positive post on the fuse box so i maybe just take it off till I get a bigger one

Well if it's hooked up at 1 that's the problem.

Well if it's hooked up at 1 that's the problem.

dont look into your wiring, this is your problem ^ not 1 ohm stable

you could rewire to 4 ohms, but you would mostlikely need more power
