New member Username: Bigherm78Monmouth, Or Usa Post Number: 3 Registered: Oct-05 | i got 4 ohms i think in the manual it says it has 8 on 1 part and 4 on another i dunno if its 4 for 2 subs or wut |

New member Username: Bigherm78Monmouth, Or Usa Post Number: 4 Registered: Oct-05 | i got 8 ohms or 4 ohms in the book it says both |

Silver Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 676 Registered: Jul-05 | if its 4ohm u can run it in parallel, bridge the amp and it would give u a 2 ohm load |
|
New member Username: Bigherm78Monmouth, Or Usa Post Number: 6 Registered: Oct-05 | should i just run the 2 swpeaker wires in to the bridge spot or should i run the 2 speakers together then bridge it |
|
New member Username: UnicarsGuangzhou, Guangdong China Post Number: 7 Registered: Sep-05 | you have two methods: first,you can run it in series. that is to say series connect the two speakers firstly. then connect to the amp. second,you can run it in parallel.that is to say connect the anode of both speakers to the amp. and connect the cathode of both speakers to the amp. i am not sure if i express well. perhaps you can discuss with me at panyali@hotmail.com |

Silver Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 678 Registered: Jul-05 | sorry, i meant a 1 ohm load. u should just one wire to the bridge spot http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp |

Silver Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 691 Registered: Jul-05 | if his amp is 1 ohm stable it will work |
|
Bronze Member Username: UnicarsGuangzhou, Guangdong China Post Number: 18 Registered: Sep-05 | but its power is not enough. Normally speaking, the power of amp should larger or at least the same with power of speaker. |
|
Silver Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 698 Registered: Jul-05 | His subs and his amp are both overrated, so maybe 20-50 watts will not be that big of a deal, not to the exstint of buying a second amp |
|
Bronze Member Username: UnicarsGuangzhou, Guangdong China Post Number: 20 Registered: Sep-05 | yes, as you said, both of his subs and amp are overrated. However,if the rated power of amp is less than speakers, either amp or speaker will burn out. |

Bronze Member Username: Rob_pregRoyal oak, Michigan United states Post Number: 88 Registered: Sep-05 | first of all, read the following penny pan. http://www.wickedcases.com/caraudio/speakerpwr.html . second, under powering the speakers will only damage them if you put the gain to far up on the amp and cause it to send a clipped signal. Many speakers can sound just fine with less than their RMS rating. Third, the amp won't "burn out" becuz its powering speakers that can take more power. The only way to do this is if you wire the amp down past its lowest ohm rating, like wiring it down to 1 ohm if its only 2 ohm stable. Clipping is what damages under powered, or any sub. www.bcae1.com is also a good site to read up on clipping futher in depth. |

New member Username: Bigherm78Monmouth, Or Usa Post Number: 10 Registered: Oct-05 | can ur amp make your battery die or make the altinator go out? |

Silver Member Username: Nocc1nUS Post Number: 136 Registered: May-05 | yup lol |

Bronze Member Username: UnicarsGuangzhou, Guangdong China Post Number: 23 Registered: Sep-05 | thanks for your kind directions, rob preg. can i invite you to give some directions to my new amplifier next time? lol. |

Bronze Member Username: Bigherm78Monmouth, Or Usa Post Number: 12 Registered: Oct-05 | hey would my amp kill battery or altinator when its off cuz my car dont work anymore after it worked yesterday morning |

New member Username: CrashfactoryxPost Number: 8 Registered: Oct-05 | Check main fuse under hood (assuming you have one), make sure yer battery cables are on right (ford uses the same color cables on it's cars, and if someone happens to replace a ground cable with red wiring, it can be a bad deal, ask me how I know..), more than likely you just burnt a fuse or 2, worse case tho is a burnt wiring harness, but don't assume the worst...and yes it's possible for them to destroy battery/alternator but it generally takes a long time.. |
