Theres most likly an open ground printed circuit trace on the Printed circuit board on the bottom. first clue is You said your girlfriend disconncted and blew the fuse. You gonna have to ytake the amp apart and totally disassemble the PCB off the rails and everything unless theres a bottom cover. It may be an obvious burn or could be hidding under the green paint of a trace?? Goos luck

No sound from subs except for two thumps when they’re first powered on and occasionally thumps if I toggle phase.
That unit may be as old as 18 years. Things fail in that age category. You need to look at the amp and see if the protection light is on. The parts inside that may have failed require soldering skills to repair

I have a 4 channel Kicker amp, sub is bridged (svc 4ohm) and I have (4) door speakers (4ohm each) running on two of the channels, I have a android head unit and it's in a 08 Silverado, whenever the truck...
If you connected speakers in parallel then two speakers have combined resistance of 2 ohms. You need to connect speakers in series

2 channel amp with 2 Kicker Cvrs 15"
Assuming the amplifier is 2 ohm mono stable... the amplifier is bridgeable... and the subwoofers are Single 4 Ohm Voicecoils, You would wire them as follows....

Both + on Both subs to the + bridged terminal on the amplifier.
Both - on Both subs to the - bridged terminal on the amplifier.

This will net a 2 ohm mono load for your amplifier.

If you have something different - let me know... and I will give you the proper wiring for what you have.

I need to know how to bridge a a 4 ohm 15 inch sub down to1or2ohm
Hello solo7908,

With a single 4ohm DVC sub there are only two possible wiring solutions, parallel the voice coils for a final 2ohm load or series the voice coils for an 8ohm load. In your case, you want to wire them in parallel, both positives and both negatives connected to the amp terminals.

Here are the diagrams: (-) to (-) and then to the amp - (+) to (+) and then to the amp. Impedance = 2ohms.

Hope this helps.

Wiring my 2 L7 with a kicker 1000times1
Run the subs in series then bridge the amp. So run the normal + to - to the one sub then hook up a spare wire (not connected to the amp) to the same + and - connections. Then run the spare wire to the + and - of the other sub. This will tie the 2 together so you can bridge the ampfor more power instead of using 2 seperate channels.

Pioneer deck kicker sub 2 mossfit amps
scanman84: i would recommend using the 2 channel 300W amp to drive the dual voice coil alone. i wouldn't combine the single channel amp with the 2 channel. you can't tie the 2 channel outputs together & use that on 1 voice & attach the single channel amp to the other, plus there could be slight differences in amplification & timing which, could cause the sub to have minimal movement or cause a canceling effect which would reduce the spl, sound pressure level. if you need more volume use the lowest impedence speaker recommended by the amp's mfg & if you need serious volume, go with a higher output single 2 channel amp. just make sure you have sufficient wire size to handle high powered amps. example, 8awg wire is rated for 73 amps. also make sure the amp is well grounded with nut & bolt connections to the frame & that there is good ventilation.

peace-out

Knocking noise with my kicker compvr 15"
comp VR 15s are rated @ 500W RMS 1000Peak.
The lanzar vibe amplifier is 2 x 600W RMS at 4 OHMS 2 x 1200W MAX at 4 OHMS 1 x 2400W MAX at 4 OHMS Bridged 2 x 1000W at 2 OHMS RMS.
Your subs are single 4 ohm subs.
If your subs are wired stereo, they both are seeing 600W. (more than the rated RMS)
Chances are, you have them wired parallel to a 2 ohm mono load - of which that amplifier is not rated. In theory, it will produce about 2000W @ 2 ohm mono for a short period of time.
Your amplifier is too powerful for your subs. Turn down the gain setting to 3/4 or purchase better subs. Also be sur the subs are inthe proper enclosure. It sounds as if they are excurting past their linear x-max and colliding with the rear bump plate. This will cause damage down the road if left as is.

Annoying thump from two 15" kicker comps powered by a lanzar vibe 266 amp
It sounds like it may be oscillating. This can be caused by a broken ground in the signal line. You need to check the RCA shield on the head unit.You'll need an ohm meter. The following page has more details. If the head unit isn't damaged, the shield ground could be open in the amplifier.

amp (L) - + (R)- +


This will use the full potiental of RF 800a2 amp. I believe it like 1153 watts max out.
