Bronze Member Username: Bryanwalsh524Post Number: 63 Registered: Sep-04 | so i had it setup before for onlu using 1 side and running it to the amp but neither side works anymore... so i tried wiring it like the picture below.. and now the sub hits but it draws so much current now that all my lights dim and the amp light dims and then it will go into protection mode. did i do it wrong? plz help. thank you Sub. CV Stroker 102. specs here http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_id=4296 amp Massive Audio P1500.1 http://www.massiveaudio.com/store/p-15001-amplifier-comes-with-a-free-ak4-wirekit-for-a-limit-c-252-p-1-pr-16163.html now one day it was smoking and the next day it stopped working so i figured i overheated the sub... but then i tried this and its alive again? heres a pic of how i have it hooked up now... |

Your gain is probably too high for your current load or you're lacking the voltage. Some other people have had problems like these with those amps. Why were you only using one side... |
