Guys, I'm not sure he needs a cap or upgrading the big 3 yet. His amp is overloading. Let's get the impedance right and see if he still has issues. I have a feeling he'll be fine once he gets his sub wired in series

caps are almost useless anyway and not worth the cash, but as he said after he gets the amp wired correctly it will not be drawing as much power.

Hey boys
sorry to bring up an old thread, but I have a similar problem faced.

I have this Sub:
http://manual.kenwood.com/files/B61-1282-00.pdf

and this amp:
http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftec...wer2ch_MAN.pdf

According to the amp, when bridges, it needs to run 4ohm

According to my subwoofers documentation, and according to the rockford website (which calculates the wiring depending on amp and sub)
there is no way to setup this dual voice coil (of 4ohm and 4ohm) to run into a 4ohm bridged amp?

i didnt look at the links because my comp is running bad today, but there is no way to wire a 4 ohm DVC sub to 4 ohms total. your best bet is to get an amp that can handle a 2 ohm load, or you could just run it on one channel at 2 ohms. that amp *SHOULD* be 2 ohm stereo stable (most 2 channel amps are). You will be pushing less power, but with that amp, I'd say that's the best way.

his sub isnt wired at 1 ohm its at .5 ohm cause you got it parallel at the sub which brings it down to 1 ohm and bridged at the amp dropping that in half to .5 ohm. i dont know of a amp that will handle that low of resistance execpt a true pro amp

um. which guy? lol cheqm823q only has one 4 ohm dvc sub, so 4 ohms isnt an option, and hpwrestler already got his wired correctly as far as I'm aware.
