If the insulation is touching, no...if the conductors are touching, "heating problems" is a bit of an understatement insulation? as in the rubber that covers the wire?

i have no doubt my wires are run correctly..my friend told me that if the grounded negative wire is touching the power wire then it can cause heating problems. Idk if it worked because i havent run it since i seperated them about an hour ago. Im runing a kicker zx1000 to a Q 12 and the amp pushes 1225 watts rms. so i know that the amp is pushing the sub fine without trouble but i cant figure out why its getting hot. yall can prob tell im frustrated and if you cant I AM : D thanks guys

yea i have a 12q running at 2 ohms and this amp puts out 1250 watts to a 2 ohm load so its def not having trouble getting power to the sub.

sweet, so i turned my bass boost all the way down, my gain about 1/5th up and my hz on about 70 out of 200..and my amp still gets hot, so i seperated my ground wire from my power wire and hopefully that will help. A friend told me that might do it..? Id run a fan but then id feel like i cracker rig'd it sooo im not gonna do that.

You did. And the attitude is totally unnecessary here. Thanks jim why you gotta be such a noob

Haha, silly noobs and their bass boost. suk it son. who said anything about using bass boost

so turn down the gain untill i get a capacitor or what do i need to do?

how do i cut down on cliping. also my cd player when it gets really loud cuts out for a second but its antishock sooo how do i resolve the clipping?

k so dont blast the boost for it can damage your sub, got it ill put it on 15 or 16 out of 20 maby even 14..Any more suggestions on how to tune my gain or hz Don't use bass boost. Period. Not even 1/20. As far as setting the gains, I'd look here: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...?showtopic=3704 i dont have any audio testing equipment sooooo a quick and easy way would be superb

i pluged it up to my home cd player and it was playing for about 12 seconds and my cd player like cut off and restarted so i unplug'd it realy quick like. Did i mess up my sub. It looks fine and doesnt smell burn or anything soooo???? was it just the cd player..

its a cd player as in like 80 dollars from walmart were it has 2 red black imputs so i hook'd them both up to the sub and played it and then it stopped playing so i took it out of the wall. and then just to see if the sub still worked i plugd it back up and it played so now im done untill friday when my amp gets here. i dont think it messed up my sub. I mean sound still comes out of it.

tremor that's what i was thinking as well thanks guys..lol the cd player almost didnt move the cone and all i heard were words. I got worried

lol no im talking about a home cd player. i didnt break it i just played it aagaiin nvm

are these good amps - http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...ProductID=16922 - will that run my Fi Q 12 at max power at 2 ohms? im new to this thing

Im trying to find an amp that will run with a dual 1 ohm Fi Q at maximum Power for under 300. If anyone could help me please reply and with a link. Thanks so much P.S Scott i may not have to send you back the dual 1 ohm amp for the dual 2 ohm if i can find an amp that will run according to the fi q dual 1 ohm.

Why did your orion at .5 only run for a month. how many rms will it be puting out to my Q and how does that kicker look at 2 ohms? the one were i posted the link two times

what happend after that six month lol? i want this amp to last me for a few years. How do i wire to get a half ohm load lol thats prob already been posted but im here so i might as well post. what happend after that six month lol? i want this amp to last me for a few years.

http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/p...ts_id/5013.html does this amp run at rated power at two ohms because it says rms at 2ohms is 1000 and in that case i can get this? give me some info on the quality and such. http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/p...ts_id/5013.html hows that amp compared to the orion we've been talking aobut

Wire the coils in series. Will it run at .5 loads safely for a daily use. And how much rms will it put out for my 12 Q at a .5 load. P.s Is this the one http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/p...ts_id/3012.html

How do you run an amp at half load. Explain to me a little more about that. I dont know too much. How much power will i get at a .5 load with the orion 1200d

Thank you so much. It looks like i'll be going with the hifonics. It looks to me that that amp gives out 1100rms at a 2ohm load, so that should push my sub to the max right, how will i wire it?

The amp needs to be under 280 and it must give out 1000rms at 2ohms. Im BRAND NEW to car audio, so i dint know anything at all. I ordered a Dual 1 Ohm Fi 12" Q and I'm looking for an amp to push it to its max potential. Thanks allot
