fella's, had a stereo in my vy,
dvd headunit
splits
rear door speakers
dual 12" subs
amp for subs
amp for speakers
this setup worked fine n sounded mad, felt the need to upgrade the subs
bought dual 12" kickers, thought it'd be as easy as changing the subs
BUT, the whole system only works sometimes, everything else is the same apart from the subs.. ive checked EVERYTHING i can think of, checked fuses, checked wiring, checked grounds, checked the back of the unit, the only thing i can think of is the remote wire, or the fuse at the battery could be faulty? - i've heard this can happen
today i was lucky enough to have it playing the whole day but when it got loud the whole thing cut out.
if anyone has any information or ideas please let me know!
EDIT: the amp matches the subs lol

APPARENTLY.. as their dual voice coil, my amp is running at 1ohm where it isnt 1ohm stable, thats the problem, now i have to undo all the subbox and everything and see if that helps.

Mate which amp and sub are you using? If your subs are DVC coils you *may* have loaded the amp down to an unsafe impedience which could have caused the amp to shut down to prevent damage.
IF you advise of model of amp and subs I can tell you which is the best way to wire them.
Hope this helps?
