I have a kicker ZX750.1 and 2 brand new CVR 12s, this is my first experience with DVC subs and having a little trouble with wiring believe. I have them wired according to a cructhfield diagram for 2 ohms.

Now the problem is when every I attempt to tune my amp once it gets passed a certain level it goes into power protection mode for 10 seconds, starts playing for about 5 then back in to power protection again. I dunno if its something I did wiring the subs or what but I heard that that amp is 1 ohm stable so I cant really figure out why it would be shutting off like that while Im attempting to tune it.

once it stops raining here I was gonna pull it apart to check the wiring again and make sure nothings hanging but from my end it all looks good.]=

What ohm are your subs?
How do YOU have them wired?

Sounds like a clipping problem. Meaning you're not suppling enough power to the amp. Ever notice your battery gauge taking a nose dive when you bump it?

 

[ImpSS07]

Also, what size wire are you running with that setup?

Maybe make sure you have a good ground.

The subs are 2 ohms, I have the wiried according to crutchfields 2 ohm diagram.
i think my power wire is either 4 or 8 gauge.
And Ill check the ground Im not sure where else to put it.

Id be willing to bet you have it wired at 0.5 ohm.

Id be willing to bet you have it wired at 0.5 ohm.

I would also. Beefy, is it two subs that are 4 ohm dvc running on one amp?

They are the 2 ohm version of the CVR.
