FFS RRRRRRRRR not sure if u remeber my last tread about subs cutting out...Solved well amp went into protection mode simple new more powerful amp.. DONE New Problem: One Sub seems to be grabbing "more power" then the other it still has power running through it.. even by visually looking at it you can see one is working harder then the other .. obiously you guys would ask how my wiring it set up so heres all the info u should need to speed it up ok 2 subs 400rms each 1 cadienca mono amp 500rms both positives in one port of amp and same with negs ill try series wiring when i get home.. soo sick of this! Quick eg just in case Help... please Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

are both ur gains equal for each channel?

oh ok didnt realise u were running a monoblock

Double check polarity. At the amps and the subs also, check that they are bridged correctly on the amp

Quote: Originally Posted by MuFFiN sorry ... just edited it .. more info? car audio aint my thing but i sort of know enough make sure basically thAt + goes to + and - goes to - . A cheats way of doing this is, grab the two cables coming off the sub, grab a AA battery, put one cable on the + side of the battery, that is the pointier end and the other cable on the - end. If the sub pushes forwards it means the cable on the + of the battery is + and hence the other is the neg. Do this fir both subs to double check connections and then put the corresponding cables to the appropriate screw on the amp. For bridging. Read the manual or it may say on the amp how exactly it should be bridged. Sometimes instead of going L- and L+, or R- and R+, it may be R+ and L- to bridge it hope that makes sense

Well it will all just depend. Try those things first so you can cancel them out as not being problem. Then try each individual sub to see if it's blown but it shouldn't be. I've never blown up a sub yet only destroyed amps.

..... hrmmm thanks champion... i hope so .. its *** ****ting me!

set fire to it steve...

tas... sometimes i think i want to!.. u got credit?

nah just txt credit, how come?

You said it's a monoblock amp however in your diagram it shows a Left and a Right channel which would indicate a stereo amp (2 channel). If your amp is a single channel, just wire the + from both subs to the + on the amp. and the - from the subs to the - on the amp. If your amp is a 2 channel one you'd have to refer to the user manual for it for instructions on how to connect speakers in bridged mode. (As patch said it will vary between different brands/models of amp.

yeh thats the only one i could find.. using stupid work net.. blocks everysingel site cept c.t weirdly enough i do have a mono with one chan.. ill pull it apart tomz and see what the go is Quote: Originally Posted by Chemical nah just txt credit, how come? need hazza to polish some ****... getting bored of my car.. il pay the baldy

Do your subs share a combined box? Or are they in seperate boxes?! If they are in a combined box and ur last amp blew, there is a very good chance one of ur subs is blown. Ush

Combined box.... But what does that have to do with it? PROBLEM SOLVED this is a MSG I sent to my good mate NT4HIR preety much expains it all "Ok u know how I'm always doing stupid thing yeh? U know how my left sub wasn't working well I tried to cancel out everything so I tested each sub first I only connected one set of wires in the amp first and wierdly enough both subs were still active ... Soo WTF I pulled the whole thing apart the left sub was never connected from the last time I pulled it out the vibrations of the right were making the left seem it was on Fml lol thanks ppl anyways Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Soo WTF I pulled the whole thing apart the left sub was never connected from the last time I pulled it out the vibrations of the right were making the left seem it was on Thats the reason, if your amp dies and it spikes a sub, it'll kill the other sub via pressure in the box making it over exert. Best off putting a divider between the subs just in case. No sub is built the same, so tollerances can be off meaning one sub can blow and the other wouldn't, but then kill the other sub via box pressure.

Ush fair... but im preety sure what happened to me if you read the comment above has nothing to do with what u may think has happned but always good to learn a little more.. lesson make sure u plug things in

just so you know, a monoblock has 2 terminals like a 2 channel amp to make wiring easier you dont need to jam 2 wires into the one terminal. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
