I’m glad you dropped this because I’m sho’ll going through this.. right now. I have the same 12s and amp and when the bass hit too hard it goes into protection mode.
I got two of these powering my 15s. These little amp pack some punch. At first I just had one powering both subs at 4ohms and it hit hard but after adding the second one and wiring each sub to 2ohms all I can say is holy crap what a difference.
@dasuaveologist5823 Pioneer subs in a box? I have a Ram 1500 with four Pioneer 6x9 and two MB Quart tweets running off of a Sound Digital 400.2 and this amp pushing a 10" sub. Power Acoustic makes a 5 channel version of this amp that puts out 100 watts a channel to 4 channels and the sub channel puts out 400 watts at 4 ohms and 600 at 2 ohms. RZ52500D Walmart has it for $152.
Those RZR1 2500Ds can push 1608 watts at 1Ω clamped with box rise factored. I've ran it head to head with a Deaf Bonce Atom 2000.1 to a single Sundown X v2 10D2 and as long as ya install a fan or 2 you can play full tilt for hours. Just wish it was designed with 0 gauge inputs instead of the 8 gauge, but for budget amp that can push a big boi SPL sub it's worth buying.
No cap bro I’ve payed mines at 1 ohm and the amp would cut out I sent it back got another one and the same thing happens those gothic 12 beat harder than some name brands but I decided to got 0 Gauge big three install 16v battery in the trunk and upgrade the Alternator the whole 9. So I can bring you guys those bass videos and content y’all love stay tuned!!
@@topiqchill241 yeah, i ran all 1/0 gauge Sky High wire along with three different 300amp ANL fuse relays and used a couple 1/0 to 8 gauge distribution blocks to wire in the Razor. And I've gotta deep cycle AGM as my accessory battery wired to a 250amp battery isolator so I'm not drawing off my main battery and i upgraded to a 320amp alternator and big 3ed it. My voltage rarely drops below 12.5v
I've ran them at 1 ohm for a long time now with no issues. If it protects on 2 of those subs the ground is poor, or your electrical is crap. Running mine in the truck on a singe 2ohm dual vc stroker wired parallel.
No poor electrical. Stability was lower then required specs of the Amplifier. Along with an equalizer added which dropped impedance even lower bro. This video speaks facts. You’re the needle in the haystack that just didn’t have any issues.
@topiqchill241 bro, we are running 4 of those amps like that though. One in the crib, one in my truck, and 2 in my son's truck. And there's a lot of folks on youtube running them at 1ohm with no issues. Great little amps.
I just bought 2 gothic 12's and 2 rzr1-2500 amps and put each 12 in an individual box and it hits hard. Harder than my JL W6 12's PC2350 Precision power amp but this was 1997😂
Your wired series/parallel. Each dvc sub is wired series 4ohmx2 is 8. Your taking each sub up to 8ohms. Then you parallel the 2 subs together. 8ohm÷2 is 4ohm. Best bet on that amp would be 2 2ohm dvc subs. Wire em series/parallel and end up at 2ohm load
So I had a 4,000 watt planet audio class D mono block 1 ohm stable with two batteries pushing 3 JL audio 12's behind the seat and 2 memphis 10's and 2 punch 10's under the seat of my 78 Scottsdale and I have to say for the money I had in it It was hitting crucial low beats.. you could hear me coming a mile away
Bridge them together. Meaning connect positive to positive (+) and negative to negative (-)…. And connect both subs together on one channel on your amp
You right mines pushing 2 12 square hifonics brutus @1ohm it gets hot as a fucking iron and go into protection mode I just crank up the a/c and it immediately gets going plus at night when I’m ready to go out and parking lot pimp it does good it never goes into protection mode ..still upgrading to Rockville or planet audio
Got the same running 2 15s but I was driving home from work and boom it cut out so idk man fk that amp return that shit don’t get me wrong they fucking pushed hard asf
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the way you're describing, you're only running one coil of each sub. Connecting the other +/- is pointless. And I'm under the impression that it's not good to run only one coil on a dvc sub.
Yes I’m running one voice coil on each (dvc)sub to get a 4ohm load. Which is the lowest Capacity rating for the amp I used. Connecting the +\- on each dvc sub is very necessary when you are measuring impedance because the ohm load will fluctuate when voltage is applied. And a few other reasons. But I will be converting back to parallel wiring soon stay tuned.
Try modeling your enclosure and subs in winisd. You can see the impedance curve of the enclosure and see what impedance your amp will actually be seeing. I have 2 dvc 8's. Dual 4ohm subs. I wired them parallel and they read .8ohm But in my box, my amp is only seeing a 3.6ohm load.. so I set my amp to deliver 650watts at 2ohms. It slams them two 8's like a boss, never gets warm, and never cuts off/protects. Run a scenario with winisd and see if you can wire yours like that.
Good video, one other thing thats important is dont use little tiny speaker wire, get big copper speaker wire, I had to learn about series wiring back on my first subwoofers back in 1985 before that in the 70s we didnt have all this fancy stuff, just a radio 8 track with a Kraco booster running 6x9s in the deck
So what I did was I hooked up negative to negative positive to positive on each sub then I hooked up one wire to each positive on the box and same on my negative then I grabbed my main lines from the amp to the lines I connected the two subs with and spliced it together what's that called
I’m still confused I have the scar ddx 12inch which is only rated for 1500 but the amp can’t even push it very hard without the amp going into protective mode. I’ve tried changing my ground but that made no difference cause I thought maybe I just had a bad ground. I’m running 4 gauge power and ground wire which should be fine
I hooked up 4 12s to this amp and no protection. After I took them out and have only one hooked up, it's going into protection if I turn it up loud. Very weird.
Because you are under powering the subs you’re meant to use one amplifier per sub you’re not supposed to run two of the subs off of this at the end it’s only 650 RMS watch it matches the speaker perfect so you are losing have to power that the subs should have
Got one pwr acoustik gothic 12 wired to 2ohm on this razor2500 watt amp. When bass hits at high volumes it’s goes in and out of protect mode. I thought 1 gothic at 2 ohms this amp could handle?
You can't always go by box specs with an 8 gauge to 4 gauge conversion adapter, and 8 gauge speaker wire,this amp will hit hard ass fuck at 1 ohm and even harder at .5 ohm with no problem 😊
I got the same amp,and I did exactly what you said and it’s still going in to protect mode..I even just wired one sub and it’s still doing the same thing!! Could I have already damaged something
@Beaky Boy Yes the channel on the amp has burned out. That’s what happened to my first Razor amp. I would recommend a stronger amp, a extra battery, & (The Big3 upgrade 0 gauge). If you don’t already have them.
Make sure you got power coming from your 12v wire. Make sure you’re grounded on a solid metal source. Also make sure your remote wire has good connection. Most importantly check all your wire to make sure there are no damages.
Bro this is cap as far as protection mode at 1 ohm. I have this amp with a skar evl 15 wired to 1 ohm and it’s played for hours every day. You have some other issue I think my dude
Bro listen to detail ok you have one evl 15 which is 2 ohm stability. It’s not going to go into protect unless you wire two dvc svc subwoofers parallel
@@topiqchill241 no you listen idiot. I clearly said it’s wired to 1 ohm. If you don’t have the experience to realize that’s possible to make a single dvc 2 ohm sub one ohm then you’re making bullshit videos talking directly out of your ass. Video reported for disinformation
It’s really your choice bro, I would go parallel because it’s 1 DVC sub and a 1 channel amp. Series wiring really comes into play when you have multiple subs or speakers
You won’t have to worry about the amp going into protection, because your impedance is higher then the required stability of the amplifier’s specifications which is 2 ohms.
Ya can run that amp 1/2 ohm ya just cant clip the shit out of it.im running mine 1 ohm with 8 gauge power wire and i bang it a hr and 15 mins everyday to and from work
Most of the people hooking these up dont know anything about impedance or wiring voice coils. They do paralle because all they know is positive and negitive to positive and negitive
That was me until I educated myself bro. Now I truly know if you are a bass head!! You’re going to spend that bag right on sub from the 0 guage to the hi amp alternator. But stay tuned more videos coming
Series Wiring with two Dual Voice Coil subwoofers. Which would put them at 4 ohms. With a amp rated at 2ohms max capacity. This would help with the quality of you over all sound.
I have this same amp, it goes into protect mode at higher volumes, anyone know a fix??? I tried to rewire the ground and power already, I have a 2017 Audi a4
@@topiqchill241 it gets around 3/4 volume then just goes into protect mode and stops playing, could it be something with the amp settings or my car settings?
@@topiqchill241 never had them amps to go into protect now did they get hot yes did they quit NEVER.and I know how to use amplifiers I know what to do what not to do when to do when not to do and that's why I can use any AMP cheap expensive
Try upgrading you 12 volt wire and ground first make sure ground is connected (paint free) to bare metal frame. Also make sure woofers are wired correctly
