I have the amp hooked up to a kicker cvr, and its bridged, but it doesnt matter if i unhook the speaker wires or the inputs, the light still blinks
You didn,t have the sub wire up properly, End fried the output transisters in the amp. Or it was not set (Properly)
what do you mean by not set properly? like the gain and such? because it worked fine and then just quit.
Being that you don,t have in your details,What type of amp it is,If it is a mono (bloc) Or a 2 0r 4 chanel amp, Or if it is brand new or not, From experiance From Be ing a certified Electronic TEchnician for 40 (Years) Before i retired , I have repaired more care amps ,Where some one ,Didnit wire up a dual voice coil sub (Properly) That i lost count of them , It not the gain control so much, The other setting if there not set properly, If a amp is bridge can fry it, End yes allso if the gatn control is crank up the amp will only last so long,Before it over heats,
It is a pioneer gm5500-t, which was brand new, class ab, it has two channels, bridgeable, and i do have a dual coil sub, but i wired it according to Kickers specifications for a 2 ohm rated sub to be 4 ohm, and the amp was supposedly 4 ohm stable when bridged. Do you think that the amp is ruined still because of my sub wiring? Also, is it fixable or would it be easier to simply buy a new amp?
For what thease place charge labour for repairs, i am srealy sticking my foot in my mouth hear, Buy staying this , Get a different one, If you are just useing it for the sub what i would honestly do is get a decent mono bloc amp, You will get better sound that way, Just don,t get anouther pioneer, They are not the most relible amp i hate to stay.Look for a decent use mono bloc, End make shure You hear it before you buy it, That it is working (Properly) end not just for a couple of minutes, Most amps will not show that there is a (problem) with them.Untill they have been going for a whole, End heated up, Hope this helps you out (Nathaniel) good luck in your hunt for a different one, Me end most of my customers ,Have had good luck with the older kenwood amps ,From years back or evan a little bit (older then (That) They are verry relible,
okay i was thinking on getting a kicker zx400.1 class d amp, because it is kicker just like my sub and the rms and max power ratings match up exactly to my sub's specs. any thoughts on that or should i just go with kenwood?
I was really tired when i sent the last message to you last night, End just done it Quicky, was trying to think of some better brands for you, Kicker are usually verry good, There was problems with some of them,About 6 years back,But i have not heard anything about (Problems) With the newer ones, I woud stay yes to geting it, It is 2(Ohm) Stable, End what i would do allso get help with doing it ,I would wire the sub that it is down to 2 (OMS) Instread of 4 (OHM) That way you will get more power out of your amp, End better sound from your sub, Just get some body to help you that no how to do it,
okay i will do that, thank you very much for your help :)
Glad to help you out,

SOURCE: how to hook up 2 10 inch speakers
For best results the output resistance of the amplifier must equal the combined resistance of the speakers. So if the amps says 8 ohms and you have two 4 ohm speakers you put them is series or if the amps says 4ohms and you have two 8 ohm speakers put them in series. If it says 4ohm and you have two 4 ohm speakers best to use only one. It Depends on the output resistance of the amps. It is usually written at the terminals where the speakers are connected.
