Ok so i think there might be something with the wiring of my subs that makes it burn out my amps. I went to the12volt.com and got a wiring diagram for a dual 1 ohm sub, but it didnt tell me what wiring to use. I think there was 16 gauge wiring (in the box) before, but what would be the difference if i used 8 or 10 gauge. Is there any pros or cons at using a thicker wire?


Subs: FI BTL 12'' Dual 1 ohm
Amp: Soundstream DTR1.3400 1/2 ohm stable

 

have u test imp. with a dmm. for some reason i wanna say d1 btl's read .7 not a tru 1 ohm. so u could be wired to .35 not .5. how is the sub wired down to ".5" or up to "2" ohms...

 

I'm an audio newbie, but they were wired parallel. Should i wire them in series?

 

i jus think ur droping below what the amp wants to see ohm wise. try it the other way (series) it wont get as much power but amp shouldnt fry...

 

ty hardcore

 

lmk if u need any more help.
