(Revised) Issues with running my Rockford Fosgate 25 to Life 5 channel...?

[Austin H]

There are alot of these questions being asked and i have the solution lol. I had the same problem in my car a while back There is two things in your can it could be. One There are a very limited few amplifiers that can truely go down to 1 ohm and those amps are made by treo and zapco. Now dont get me wrong you have a very good amp but with those subs pushing one ohm it sounds like the amp is taking too much of a beating so it will cut off or distort to save itself from actually blowing. I had to learn this the hard way. So what you need to do is parallel both of the subs to 2 ohms that will give your amp a break and i guarentee will fix the problem. Now before you do that you want to check and make sure none of your wires going to your 6x9 or door speakers have over heated. The wires if too hot will split out of their sheethes and split apart only leaving a couple threads of wire touchin which would explain distortion and would cut off if the car went over a bump or turned to quick. So if you check your wires i would check the 6x9 first and if you find the split wire do not sodder them you just need to get connector from the store and you can get a pack of 5 for a buck and you will put one wire on the bottom of the connetor and one on the top so they face each other then you clamp it down with pliers and its set to go

I have a rockford fosgate 25 to life... And it seems to work great, but then when I have it up pretty loud for a while, it sometimes cuts out and goes fuzzy... The amp is stable at 1 ohm for both the 4 channel and the sub out. I am running 2 re audio se 10s, at 1 ohm, they are dual 4 ohm, so I have all positives running together and all negatives running together... Then I am just running my highs and mids straight at 4 ohms. I have a set of infinity kappa perfect 6.5s, and a set of infinity kappa 6x9s. This issue did happen once before when I didnt have the sub channel running... And it happened once when the subs were gonna hit a hard note... Also, I have had to resolder a wire on one of my 6x9s, it sounds like it could be that... I have all gains about 2/3s of the way up...
