thanks!

900 watts would need a fuse around 80-90A to handle the current draw without blowing. the amp clipping was what burned up the one sub though. that was due to the mis-wiring and trying to run at half an ohm. 2 ohms is ideal anyway with that amp. 450 watts per sub, which is already 50 watts over the ...

how many watts RMS does each amplifier you have put out as they're wired up now? Answer that and I can tell ya what size fuses ya need. as for gain, those numbers are voltages, to match to your head unit's pre-out voltage. if the head unit is 2 volts, you set the amp gain to "2" and if it...

damn!

Well sh*t... Turned out I had the subs running in 0.5 Ohm on my 1 ohm stable amp... thats why the fuses were popping like a new hooker.. So I wired the subs back up in series to gain a 2ohm load, sucess... listened to one of the subs with my ear right up to it and it sounded a bit distorted.. hmm, k...

Oh yea!. I have the subs running in Parallel... And im not TOTALLY sure, but i was running dual 4 ohm subs in parallel the other day and i was reading 1 OHM?! on my meter... So i got these hooked up the same way and they are also reading 1ohm?!.. anyway.. i want 1 ohm cuz the amp supports it, not FU...

I've got 2 gauge wire from the amp to battery, and a ground wire close to the amp.... I have also just put in a new capacitor (which i think was a mistake), that is also tie...
