Not enough bass. should i run a capacitor.adjust my amp and what to set it at for max performance

Turn up the gain on your amp until you get the amount of bass you want or until the sub starts to distort. If you do this and you are still unhappy with the bass, you will need a bigger amp or better subs.

2 kicker cvr 12's in prewired kicker box with 1 wire terminal, kicker cx1200.1 amp. Whats the best way to wire this combo?

Well you really can't run both speakers on one term. because you will over heat the amp , unless your amp is rated at twice the capability of your subs , Then if so , Try positive to one sub , then neg. to the other sub , then bridge the remaining positive to the remaining negative terminal , But it is really best to get a two channel amp for your subs !!!

I have 2 kicker cvr 15 4ohm dvcs and a performance teknique ICBM power 4000 watt 1ohm stable amp when I hook up my speakers 1 ohm it kicks my amp into protect when I wire it at 4 ohms it works fine how do...

Are your subwoofers wired in series or parallel? Check your connections, if everything is ok, the problem is with your amplifier. It might have a blown capacitor inside or its not really a 1ohm stable amplifier. Have it repaired if thats the case.

Is the sony xplod cdx-gt71w able to support a subwoofer without another amp

Sure is.

The sony is bridgable as follows:

100W x 4 @ 4 Ohm

100W x 2 + 250W x 1 @ at 4 Ohm

This will allow 2 channels to run 100 watts each @ 4ohms with an additional single channel with 250 watts @ 4 ohms.

The single sub channel is created by bridging channels 3 & 4

How to wire a kicker 15 cvr

175W x 2 @ 2 ohms
350W x 1 @ 4 ohm
Your amplifier is not stable @ 2 ohm bridged. So you will have to wire them independantly on each channel.
+/- on sub to +/- on L channel
+/- on sub to +/- on R channel
Wiring the subwoofers in paallel will result in a 2 ohm load, which your amplifier is not rated to do. Doing so will cause heat buildup, and damage to the amplifier.

Yea, you blew the voice coil. Pressing on the cone where you are is hitting the spot that is making the coil connect again. Just like a shorted wire. Sometimes you can bend it and get a connection. You are gonna have to replace the sub.

If you have any comments please feel free to leave them here.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa.

everything was wired by a professional perfectly fine:S if im gonna buy another pair of subwoofers whats gonna stop those from blowing is it because of the amp i used? or simply because i cranked them too loud
Iron Oct 14, 2011

Yep, to much for the speaker to handle. Nothing to do with the wiring. Do it a few times myself.
