Need Help With My Audiobahn System

pcdipsetbg · Post by **pcdipsetbg** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 2:12 pm

I have an Audiobahn A18001DT Amp and i recently bought 2 audiobahn Alum10n subs to go with it, however when i hook them up and turn the radio on to test them they make a hissing sound then the amp goes into protection mode....does anyone know what is going on? do i have it wired wrong or is this amp not capable of powering these type of subs considering they are dual 6 ohm each? Please help!!!! I need to know if the amp will power these subs or not because if it will then i will just have to work witht the wiring or whatever is wrong but it will be a relief knowing i didnt buy the wrong equipment but i looked online and cannot find much information Please help!!!!

:help:

Two things come to mind. You gain might be cranked, causing the hiss, and the light, or you have it wired wrong.

You got to make sure the ohm load matches. I think thats where your wrong. Audiobahn isn't that great by the way. Perhaps you should return it and get something better before you can't.

How did you wire your dual 6 ohm subs?

probably parallel which means hes seeing a 1.5 ohm load

heres a diagram of how it looks, it not the best diagram but it gives an idea....

sub sub
(+)----(-) (+)----(-)
(+)----(-) (+)----(-)
(-)----(+) (-)----(+)
(-) (+) (-) (+)
l l---------- l ----l----------(+)AMP
l-------------------l----------------(-)

-=wire
(+)=positive
(-)=negative

have any diagrams or suggestions of how i can wire it?

that didnt turn out how i wanted it to heres an explanation it has 4 positive and 4 negative on each sub i have the first 3 of each ran together like following i have positive wired into negative on first 3 then on the last i have the two positives left over on each sub wired together and ran to amps positive and the last negatives on each ran together to the amps negative

u mean 2 positive and 2 negative? or are they quad coils?

you only have 2 positive and 2 negative that sub is a dvc 6ohm sub. so i have no idea how your wiring that
