its the camera dude nothing wrong with the subs i had the camera to close to the subs and grub i was thinking of that but i got no where to mount my amps cause i was going to go with one sub period as i want a bit of boot room back so up for grabs will be a jbl sub for $25 i still got the center cap only problem is the center cap flew off but the sub still works fine and its one of those free to air subs i think unlike the mtx i will post pic of the both subs out of the box for yous

no i didnt wire them wrong and no the mtx cant do a 1ohm when bridged its only 4ohm it cant even do 2ohm thats why i had the both subs bridged to even it out so it can do a 2ohm stable load but i geuss the amp didnt like it


:shock: :shock: :shock:

Heres some basic ohms law...

2 subs, 4 ohm each
if they are in parallel, then you have an 8 ohm load
if they are in series, then you have a 2 ohm load.

If the amp is bridged, then the amp will effectively see half that impendance per channel. Your amp is not 1 ohm stable per channel, or 2 ohm stable bridged, thats why its cutting out because your overloading it

Your amp will only support a 4 ohm load in bridged mode.

So your best configuration is either one sub in bridged mode, or 2x subs in stereo mode

It is not that your subs "cant do a 1ohm when bridged its only 4ohm it cant even do 2ohm thats why i had the both subs bridged to even it out so it can do a 2ohm stable load" :roll:

Basically its been stated before, you need a better amp fullstop.



Coupe66, you have the right idea just it is backwards, 2 x 4ohms in parallel gives 2 ohms not 8 and 2 in series gives 8 ohms not 2....

In a series circuit you add the loads together and in a parallel circuit it divides.....

Tx5.... Listen to the advice that is being given to you. You are tying to run a 2ohm stereo amplifier with a 2 ohm mono load which as stated previously is the same as a 1 ohm stereo load.
This is why if you set it up as 4 ohms per channel it works properly....

So to summarize you HAVE wired it up INCORRECTLY.....

Plus this is a 130w amp not a 300w amp.....
