Okay, so i just got 4 of the hfx12d4s 400w rms and 800 max rated subs. Well I have each pair on a pioneer 900w amp so they are each getting roughly 450w each,maybe a little less, and when i played them, they did fine for a couple of minutes but then i could smell coils so i turned em off and let...

I found that it is one of the channels having a problem, can I fix this by getting a new fuse?

I have four kicker comps on 2 900 watt 2 channel amps. I have them split off one power wire with a dist block. Two of them work fine on one of the amps. On the second amp, when one sub is connected, that one sub works fine but when I hook up the second sub on the second amp, both subs move but...

Got the dist block, managed to aquire some Rockford 4 gauge from my friends amp kit he never used, and got it all hooked up and its running like a champ so thanks everyone for all your help

Is there any way I could go with 6 gauge instead of 4? I tried to just find a spool of 4 but could only find 6

Yeah those are max and does it matter which brand of distribution block?

I found a 1200watt amp kit but it has 6 gauge wire but I assume that the fuse would be able to handle the power. I also found a 1600 watt amp kit with 4 gauge wire

Yeah the RMS for each is half. So I would need 4 gauge? I assume that I need a larger fuse as well as I only have an 80 amp fuse right now

Would it be possible to run to amps of 10 power wire? I have looked it up on the internet and have been getting mixed responses some people are telling me that you can if you have the right gauge wire and other people are saying never to do this so I'm wondering if it is possible and if it is...

So wait, the amp kit brand doesn't matter too much, the gauge of the wire does?

I am having some problems with my amplifier. it will turn on but when I turn the volume up the amplifier will shut off. The amplifier is brand new but I'm using an old amp wiring kit that is 800 watts with a 900 Watts amplifier and everytime it shuts off I'm able to switch the wiring kit fuse...

IWould a box with a larger port allow for deeper bass? I've been listening to tracks by decaf and most of the songs have lower bass notes and my sub's shake the whole car but I can't hear them. Also, the ports on the box I have are relatitively small so the sub's don't really have much breathing...

OK, so I'm a noob and I'm just using a prefab box with some tiny little ports on either side of the box. I got the box from best buy. Its one of those XED boxes(don't have money for anything custom). Anyway I was wondering a few things 1. What's the difference between a box with 2 separate...

I'm kinda a noob so I'm not too familiar with the more expensive kits but I'm currently just using a dinky dink scoche amp wiring kit (got it for convenience as it was right next to the amp) with my comps 12s and 900w amp and it hits about as hard as my friend's (we both have same setup except...

I currently have a 900w pioneer amp running my 2 comps. I have another pioneer amp (760w) that I'm not using but wanted to add to the battery to run 2 more sub's. I talked to a guy a a shop if I could do this and he said I would need a HOalt, another battery, and a bunch of other stuff if I...
