Ok i just got done with my box and every thing and got it all hooked up and i got wire to 2ohm and when i first listen to it they pound hard as hell and then after like 5 minutes not even at half volume my amp over heats then comes back and then shuts off again after another 5 minutes and its pissed me off my amp is a A8000t and its air cooled my piece of sh*t sony never over heated like this, what is wrong?
i'd bet on incorrectly wired sub(s)....i have the A8000t and it has never overheated for me.....gets pretty warm but not hot by any means....also i just got kolossus power/ground and that cut down on the heat tooo....
my wireing is brand new,ok i made sure its wired correctly and it is but the picture i got off the inter net to wire it mine is the same but the other way would that matter? i dont think it should
i have 2 kicker CVRs dual 2 ohm, my box i just made and its 1.90 cu ft per chamber, would it matter if i hooked up my subs the same way the picture showed me to wire them but i did it the opposite way?
yeah, but the site and the manual are a little different. the subs have black with a white dot, and black. and red with a white dot, and red. i hooked mine up orignially like the wiring diagram on rockford fosgate site, and the amp was overheating and going into protect. then i looked in the manual and hooked them up that way. and it all works good.
anyways, the manual just says exactly what pegs to hook to what.
ok so those white dots mean somthin? they way there hooked up now is the red with the white dot and the black with the white dot are connected and the solid black and red goes and hooks up to my other subs, so thats completley wrong?
i hooked it up right and omg it sounds so much better and louder i got a video and im gunna try and put it on my myspace and That realmexcursion place i will let you know when i get it on, thanks for the help
