Don't run it at all.. if you do, don't say we didn't told you so when you burn up that sub.

harumph.... im still putting it at volume 10... with bass level 0... i cant live completely without bass, if it burns up it burns up i just wont push it past that

mr_eh · 04-12-2007, 11:06 AM

hmm i am continuing to look into why its popping fuses, apparently they wired me up with 8 gauge wire...

amp specs say

Requires 4-gauge power and ground leads

is that why im blowing fuses?

Metallman56 · 04-12-2007, 11:17 AM

could be. the amp could just not be getting enough power and blowing the fuses. happend to me on my amp, thats why i had to get a bigger alt.

Mendoza · 04-12-2007, 11:18 AM

I would put a barrel fuse and barrel fuse holder instead of a 40 amp fuse. They take current allot better. I would imagine you are blowing fuses because the amp is rated at 4ohms bridged and you have it at 2ohms.

mr_eh · 04-12-2007, 11:24 AM

well for now getting 4 gauge and barrel fuse/holder should at least stop the fuses from blowing until i get a new amp?

gonna need the 4wg anyway for a new amp ya?

Mendoza · 04-12-2007, 11:34 AM

what fuse is blowing the one under the hood or the one in the amp?

mr_eh · 04-12-2007, 11:49 AM

the one in the amp, 40a

Metallman56 · 04-12-2007, 12:34 PM

either way, your going to want to run 4 gauge. its close enough to 500 watts, your going to want to upgrade.

mr_eh · 04-12-2007, 12:44 PM

right, should t hat stop the fuse from blowing out as well? =/

mr_eh · 04-12-2007, 01:32 PM

well i called them up they said to bring it in, so i will...

it'll get its kinks worked out so i can enjoy it safely...

Mendoza · 04-12-2007, 09:31 PM

Wire the woofer in series if you want to stop blowing the fuse. It's just to low of an ohm load. The amp is popping fuse because it's not meant to run at 2ohms. Meaning the fuse is doing it's job.

Rosado · 04-13-2007, 12:27 PM

U pecker head. All u had to do was to stop by my shop. Besides I am selling 2 L7 and a 1250 amp. Stop by the shop!!!!!! let me look at it.
