Hello everyone. I'm new here. And I have a couple of questions to all of u the experts in car audio //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. I just bought a car audio system. I have a :
This is the amp I bought:

and this is the subwoofers I bought, I bought 2 of these:
http://www.amazon.com/Kicker-CompVR-07CVR124-subwoofer-4-ohm/dp/B000MSSOWQ/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1213559311&sr=8-1
I checked the RMS output of the subs and is 400 RMS max each sub. The amp I bought is 900 RMS x 1 channel @ 2 ohm and 500 RMS x 1 channel @ 4 ohm. MONO CLASS D. The subs have 4 ohms voice coils and If I connect them in Parallel It will give a 2 ohm load, and If I connect them iin series it will give me 8 ohm load. The amp is "supposed" to handle all the power both subs needs. Becase If the amp have 900 RMS x 1 channel and I'm using bridge with 2 subs, the power will decrease half that means 450 RMS x 2 channel @ 2 ohm, am I right? The problem is the next when I play the music to loud the amp get overheated too much right away ( 5 min ) and both fuse (30A x 2 = 60 A total) get burned instantly, I checked how much power came to the amp and is over 70A+ ( that means sometimes it gets 100 A, don't know why) so that's why both fuse got burned because ( i guess )) both subs needed more power. So I looked for solutions:
1) I'm afraid to damage my amp, So my temporary solution is not to put to loud the music, but I want to sound it loud //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
2) Capacitor: The capacitor what it does is, to store energy on demand of the amp when ur battery cant handle too much power. My problem is otherwise ( I guess ), The amp or the subs are demanding more power that I need but I don't get it because 900 RMS /2 = 450 RMS for the amp and the subs are 400 RMS each = 800 RMS, so I have 100 RMS left to use. I need something to stabilize the system to 60 A max, is there a way to do it? Or what other solution can u give me please. Thx in advance guys //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif ..peace...
