Electricians use the 80% rule. When watt rating is 1000, we say 800 watts maximum. Same for wire ratings, and circuit breaker ratings, switch ratings, etc. 80% rule is the rule for electricians. The closer you run a device at full load, the warmer it gets and the more quickly the device fails. The signal that a dimmer is failing is heat. I suggest replacing 1000watt dimmer with 1500watt dimmer, or reducing load. All dimmers get warm, but should not be hot. 1500watt dimmers usually have aluminum fins on the face to dissipate heat. So 1500watt dimmers look different than 1000watt dimmers. If you reduce load, and 1000watt dimmer still gets hot with reduced load, then dimmer has gone bad.
find the ohms on each subwoofer and how much it can handle. If you have two 4 ohm subs get a powerful MONO AMP and hook it up in parallal. If you have two 2 ohm subs get a (1 ohm stable) Powerful MONO AMP and hook it up in parallel or a powerful 2 CHANNEL AMP but the wiring can be a little complicated cause you've got to connect the subs in series and bridge it on the positive of 1 channel and the negative of 2nd channel for maximium benefit without burning out the 2 channel amp. If you got two 500 Watt subs then you got to find an amp that can put out 1000Watts anything less wont sound good and may burn out the subs because of too much distortion cause of lack of power.
it depends. what is the ohm rating of each sub, and the amp. are the subs DVC(dual voice coil)? and are you trying to bridge them directly to the amp? i need more info, but i can say that if they are 4ohm subs, if you run them parallel, they will become 2 ohm. to keep them at 4 ohms, they need to be run i n series, and you need more than 2 for that.
u need at least another amp and set em at 2 ohm and then just take it to a shop aand ask thee guy to equalize it he shouldnt charge u or at least 10 bucks
Almost all after market amps use 12v at very very low amperage to trigger the amp on. A temporary jumper from the battery plus terminal on the amp AFTER the battery and ground wires are attached should cause the amp to turn on. I would check to see if you have attached your speaker load correctly ESPECIALLY if you are bridging. Most of the blown amps that come into my shop are due to incorrect bridging loads from the speakers. Note that a 4ohm load bridged across both outputs of an amp will deliver a 2ohm load to each of the channels. When you parallel wire two 4ohm speakers together and then attached them to a bridged amp you will be putting a 1 (one) ohm load to each channel of the amp. Please don't make this mistake. It will fry your amp in about a month. Hope this helps. Good luck.
