I have tried turning the gain down it is nearly on minimum now but still not solving the problem? Does anybody have any ideas how to fix it or how i can go about getting it fixed by someone? Help! |

Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 1589 Registered: Mar-06 | Well, if you have 2 4ohm 6x9s wired to it, then thats a 2 ohm load. Most amps run 4 or 8 ohms when bridged. What amp is it? And why dont you just wire each speaker to a separate channel? |

Gold Member Username: Alias747Eclipse Ti, MN Post Number: 1834 Registered: Apr-05 | I think his impedance should be fine as long as he has it wired correctly. It's a 4 channel, bridged to 2 channels, each channel should be safe @ 4 ohms bridged. Those should be 4 ohm 6x9's. |

New member Username: Saxodk6Leicestershire, United Kingdom United Kingdom Post Number: 3 Registered: Jan-07 | It says its a Wandeli V12 1000W DC straight 4 channel amp. and it is in the boot screwed to the back of the back seats so theres no more ventilated area really? i think it maybe because its overheating but do not know what to do to stop this? the speakers are 4 ohm. if i wired them to separate channels then i would not be using the whole of the amp would i and so will not have as much power. |

New member Username: Saxodk6Leicestershire, United Kingdom United Kingdom Post Number: 5 Registered: Jan-07 | no i still have all them settings set to the middle as default. but am also not sure about best settings for the dials on the front LPF and HPF? not sure what they do? |

Gold Member Username: Alias747Eclipse Ti, MN Post Number: 1838 Registered: Apr-05 | LPF = Low Pass Filter HPF = High Pass Filter Your high pass filter should be turned on for both 6x9s. And I just notice that your amp doesn't have a nob to set the crossover frequency cutoff. Strange to say the least. Anyway the HPF is probably factory set to somewhere around 80-100hz. Hopefully anyway. |
