New system I built. Kenwood X802-5 hooked up to 4 4 ohm component speakers and 2 JL Audio 4 ohm SVC subs. I have the subs wired in parallel to present a 2 ohm load to the amp which handles 2 ohms. No power light on the amp, checked power and remote on wires, both have 12 V. Ground is solid. I hooked up just a single sub and it works most of the time. As soon as I hook up the second sub in parallel, it shuts off ( like in protection mode I guess).
So with sub 1 hooked up it was working for a few hours. I decided to unhook sub 1 and hook up just sub 2. Immediately the amp shut down. I thought maybe bad sub?
I tested each sub with my meter, 4 ohm across the terminal. Wired in parallel, the end connection that would go to the amp is 2 ohm.
No idea what is going on....
The only odd ball is the blue remote wire is not currently spliced to the head unit's remote on wire, but rather a fuse in the fuse box for the head unit. I forgot to hook it up and didnt feel like removing the dash again yet. I wouldn't think this would matter.
Any ideas?
