How should i wire my sub?

[fobanginvtek 0]

Well i got my system together ( needs some minor adjustments here and there). Running a jvc KD-avx77 to my kicker zx750.1 amp, and to my Fi SSD12 with copper coil option. I wired it in parallel but then my amp went into protection mode and i didnt even really turn up the gain much. Should I wire it in series? My sub has the DVC option

is the ssd dual 2 ohms or dual 4 ohms

Fi's only come in dual 1 or dual 2

Since the amp whet into protect the coils are dual 1 and you had it wired to that amp at an .50 an ohm. Run it in series and you get a 2 ohm load and you'll be good.

Oh ok thanks, i have the Dual 2. thats what i was thinkin at first

so did wiring in series to 4 ohms work or is your amp still giving you problems.

thats probably not the best amp for that set-up. that amp is only rated at 375 watts at 4 ohms. and running it lower then 2 ohms can blow it.

mine is set-up with BP and D1. wired at 2 ohms. it could handle more but i got a good deal on the amp.
