bump... Amp is getting 14.6 volts when cars on....

Triple post sry Also, the remote wire only read about 2-3 volts....

btw, this member at caraudio has said that he ran his at 1 ohm... http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=375427

got it. Okay update. I got a new fuse, little bit different, didn't seem like it went in all the way, but same fuse rating same type. Plugged everything up and it didn't turn on. I tried shoving part of the power wire into the remote turn on so its always on to see if it turns on (a couple members at smd suggest i try that) and it didn't turn on. I got 12 v at the amp, and 12v with the remote turn on (with the part of the power wire in it) and still didn't light up or play. With the remote turn on it didn't play or light up. settings all the way down nothing worked. This worked on my 2 previous set ups, i don't know why these wires wouldn't work. The wires were also originally installed with this amp, so IDK what happened. Help guys...

lol alright, as long as it should work.. Its not too important

yep, GP area. I just can't make a ton of money, need to get a job or start selling a bunch.

ok, one more question, how can i find out if its a 1 ohm nominal, do i just assume becuase its at .7 ohm dcr (what is that? )

Yeah, but its just been in the cold not been used for a while, where as urs was being used. dang man... I really want to figure this out... and I'll check the fuse under the hood and on the amp. I can't even pull them out of the amp... I had a spark when connecting hte power wire to the amp, so i pulled it out and i realized I forgot to disconnect the battery lol... It wasn't a huge spark but I didn't think it would hurt it too bad fuses on the amp are fine, and goddammit, the fuse under the hood is popped. It must have popped when it sparked, and the left over current in the wire made the amp power on but not play.... alright, well new fuse tommarow! Should it all work after that?

no, now it doens't turn on. Could the temp have an issue with this? hasn't been used in about a month or 2 or 3 lol.. but last time used, it worked. It is like seriusly freezing cold and has been sitting in the REALLY cold for a while. IT was in my friends car, so thats why it was cold. Michigan weather..

thats a cool feature for sure. Nice lookin car!

okay I turned down al lthe settings, tried playing the song with the car off had some dimming, so i turned the car on, and it didnt turn on. Idk, what could be the problem? It's really DAMN cold, so maybe thats it? its like freezing cold lol maybe I hda the speaker hooked up? it looks like this + + - - I had the postive in the first + and the negative in the first - wrong? and oh yeah ml91, nvm.. I knew it would be more aroudn 750-1000 but I still thought it coudl work

isnt the one I linked too the newer version? And wow, I have it maxed out then lol! I'll just go turn all the settings down

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_9621_C...PZi+1500.1.html that amp and yes the new dvc 2 ohm btl 18" and oh, well i didn't know that made a diff lol. i have some of the settings, but the knobs are stupid. Which way is all the way down? i thought it was all the way left, but isn't it all the way right on this amp? I want to have the gain on 0.2v not 6v, right? I tried setting hte sub sonic, and the lpf but i just woudl rather turn them all the way down for now.

btw this happens with a signal not when it turns on

Alright well I am about to put it in the box and I know I have to drill the surround so I can drill the screws in there. Should I remove that sticker on the bottom of the sub? And are there any specific ways to drill it? Is there anything else I should do when putting it in the box?

mmk sounds good thanks for the help!

yep that. Okay, I'll cut the holes with a knife through the bottom up to be safe since I can see the hole. Anything else I have to prepare? Like I read somewhere that the sticker on the bottom of the magnet is just a production sticker...

Oh? I meant drill from the bottom up then put the surround back on. You know, through the holes that are already there? But if a knife is better I'll do that

Thanks! I was really hoping for an answer like that! How do I know how big the 45 should be? I'm thinkin real small... Make it's the same height as your internal height and I wouldn't go any smaller than 2" wide. Somebody might have a better answer for you on the width. Not sure if there is any set formula to calculate 45 width. I'll see what I can come up with thanks man!

How could I brace my port more, or do you think it needs to be braced? Here is the bracing of the entire box, but it is also for an idea of what the port looks like... also, do you think a 45 would be helpful in my port? I don't think it would make much of a difference....

Thanks! I was really hoping for an answer like that! How do I know how big the 45 should be? I'm thinkin real small...

bump so i can finish the box?

I found some trustworthy ones, DB Link http://cgi.ebay.com/IN-LINE-ANL-FUSE-HOLDE...DefaultDomain_0 I hope those will fit my fuses, I'll just order one then order another later to make sure it fits, or should i jsut order both

Are these any good? the amp I'm getting, an AQ2200d requires a 200 amp fuse, and im using 2/0 welding cable so i figure il ljust get five, best bang for my buck and in case any pop i'll have an extra http://cgi.ebay.com/Tsunami-200-Amp-ANL-Fu...bayphotohosting And for a fuse block/holder, should I use the typical screw down the cable, or should I get the ones that you use a wire terminal on each end and just touch the fuse together? Have any suggestions on some? I need 2 affordable ones, but 3 if they are REALLY affordable.. I'm not trying to cheap out, but I just don't think its necessary to spend 75$ on three fuses... (since I'm using 2/0 thats why I'm wondering because most are 0 guage fuse holders)

Alright, I think I'm just going to order these then.. Should I step it up to 250 amp or no? lol I still need help with some fuse holders!! Help a kid out Snoop on eBay some more gotta be something on there for fuse blocks. Most are for 1/0 so you may just need to strip your wire down to fit the 1/0 gauge fuse blocks. Thats what I was thinking, but won't it really mess up the current flow?
