I have a lanzar vector VCT-2210 2000 watt amp hooked up to two menace 1300 watt subs. when i turn the volume up on the head unit the amp goes into protection mode. i checked all my wiring and it seems all good. help please :(

Is the amp 2 or 4 channel?

If your amp allows it hook the the sub's to the first two channels but bridge it and only run it on 2ohms so you don't blow your sub's

Quick test...with your Lanzar volume all the way down, connect MP3 player or other type audio source directly to the subwoofer input connection. Play audio and slowly increase volume control. If subwoofer is working using this method, reconnect and check for audio output to Lanzer connection problem, or subwoofer "settings" issues with the receiver.

Based solely on spec sheet information the Lanzars can handle 1300 watts RMS and the KX1200 is rated at 300x1 @ 4 ohms, 600x1 @ 2 ohms, & 1200x1 @ 1 ohm. Even with a 1 ohm load you will still only be providing 600 watts to each sub. While the kicker will provide more power at 14+ volts, no car creates more than 12-13 volts via its alternator. A car battery only provides 12.6 volts. So you will be loking at 1200 watts from 1 channel as a best case scenario.

Additionally, with your 2 subs, they will need to both be Dual 4 ohm voice coils in order to net a 1 ohm final load. Each voice coil will need to be wired in parallel and then each speaker needs to be wired in parallel.

there is a loose piece inside my 10" cozmik series. how do i get it out?

x over frequency sounds wrong , level match head unit to amp , see amps gain , turn it all the way counterclock wise first then check , check surround on sub .

Try bypassing the remote wire staight to power instead of the stereo

the problem is that you must have your subs wired to a lower impedance than the amp can handle. Wire your subs to 4 ohms, or get an amp that can handle 2 or even 1 ohms and crank it and enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!

The head unit may be rated at 200 watts but it cannot produce more than ~20 watts of real power per channel. There's no way that it can drive the high end speakers to a level that will be needed to compete with the subs on a 1000 watt amplifier.

sounds like your over working your amp 800 watt on a 2000 watt sub. might wanna upgrade your amp
