need help with amp cutting out

jakejc · Feb 16, 2012

So I just got an amp in from another titan talker today and was very eager to hook it up its the Kenwood 9104d mono block and it runs great and actually my needle doesn't move at all when playing this bad boy loud like when i was running two sony xplods, but when it gets to a great long bass line it cuts out i don't see why because its still getting plenty of power and my needle doesn't move at all? I have a 35 amp shrunken audio battery wired to it and a 2.2 farad cap also I have it set at 1 ohm playing two alpine type r 10's what should i try?
thanks in advance

sweet ill check it out thanks

so the "bridged wire" is this a speaker wire that is being bridged or am i using the jumper cable that the subs came with?

I did some research on the amp, and I think it definitely has to do with the wiring stated by seabrootx. Your amp is stable at 1 ohm ONLY if it's bridged! So once you find how to bridge it, I think you should be fine!

ya i think i have it under 1 ohm can you guys show me the diagram that i need to make it work?

jarred3636 · Feb 17, 2012

Wait, you have 2ohm subs?

jakejc · Feb 17, 2012

no i have #2 alpine type r 4 ohm subs
and the way that they are wire are jumpers between the voice coils and then a wire connecting i think 1 and 3 voicecoil

im using example number 2

so its a jumper on each terminal end and the speaker wire going to post 1 and 4 on both subs and then on the outside of the box i just connectec the red and black together of each part then to the amp

haha so sorry! I've been looking at the wrong amp!! Is this how it's wired? Subwoofer Wiring Diagrams, Two 4 ohm Dual Voice Coil (DVC) Speakers

no i don't have mine wired like that i gave an example of them further up in the post i don't really know how to explain it

seabrootx · Feb 19, 2012

try this one this is one i use

jakejc · Feb 20, 2012

ok so with this i don't use my jumpers right?

seabrootx · Feb 20, 2012

either use those or make your own out of speaker wire

jakejc · Feb 20, 2012

ok kool thanks ill give it a try

how do i run a 2 ohm load to the amp

2011PRO4X · Mar 6, 2012

With the subs you have, dvc 4ohm subs, you can only wire to 16ohm, 4ohm, or 1ohm... With the model sub you have, the only way to get 2ohms is to do away with one of the subs and wire the two coils of the one you keep in parallel (+ to + and - to -). If you had dvc 2ohm subs, you can wire a 8ohm,2ohm or 0.5 ohm load... You should be fine wiring to 4 ohms, and if your amp can handle it, wire to 1ohm... I would stick with 4 ohms and see if you like it though for your amps sake.
