i built my own box, holds 2 10's single voice coil mtx 6000 subs, i have a sony 740watt amp, when i turn the volume up loud the amp shuts down.

i wired the amps so that a + and - go to a connection on the box then once in teh box i split the wire into 2 so that there are 2 + and 2 - and ran that to each sub... why is it doing this?

thanks matt

Sounds like you either have your subs wired too low for your amp, or you don't have a good power/ground connection.

Basically just recheck the wiring in general. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

what do u mean have my subs wired to low for my amp? sorry i'm a newbie/retard

matt

how do i wire them to 8 ohms?
or how do i wire them to a 2 channel?

either wire one sub per channel, or if its a monoblock amp, then go from the amp + to sub1 + amp - to sub1 - then wire from sub1 + to sub2 -, and sub1 - to sub2 + for an 8 ohm mono load,
