what cause pig tail wire in a sub to burn ?

Pig tail wire?

Do you mean the tinsel leads?

yea i have 2 12 dreadnuts mmats sub ?

If they burned it was likely caused by too much power.

or clipped signal

i pushing it with a 3500mmats they only 1000rms what should i do to prevent it ?

can i put anything in the wire to prevent it ?

lol and what does ur electrical consist of

Adjust your amplifier settings the right way.

Adjust your amplifier settings the right way.

x2 plus be sure your electrical is capable of with standing the current draw from your amp or you ultimatly end up clipping and burning them

2 d3100 powermsater batt and 200 amp alt

wire gets burnt due to excessive current. Of course, manufacturer has the right amount of wire in there to handle the loads that will be given to the sub. A lot more power than rated. the problem is when the voltage going into the amp starts to become too low or the amp starts to clip, these result in higher than normal current outputs from the amp.

thanks for elaborating i didnt feel like doing it

you can run new leads... somthing like this.

what series mmats?

I use insane power on my subs and I have never seen a tinsel lead burn

with a clean signal...

you were definately clipping the hell out of your amp...

i runing the dreadnuts mmats 12"I see like u used some thing to cover the wire what did u used?

He didn't use something to cover the wire, he replaced the wire with a larger gauge.
