amplifier's protect mode - Page 4

Helpers at crutchfield told me to get 4 gauge and it'd be just dandy with it. I didnt get street wire, but I got 4 gauge EFX or something. I dont have the money for the street wire right now but I may upgrade later,

4AWG should do the trick nicely.

thanks for all your help guys. unfortunately it was the amp it seems, but now I'll have a better one! Im sure ill be back when the next disaster happens.

JUst dont turn your gain right the way up.

Headunit at 3/4 volume, or until it reaches distortion, which ever comes first.

Then adjust your levels on the amp to match the sub.

im not installing/tuning :P

its getting installed at the same place, then ill tidy the wires up.

if it is getting installed professionally, they should already have the wires cleaned up and hidden, I know I make my guys do it all the time so the owner/customer does not have to do it.
