Subs and amp hook up

[Eric Cady]

I had my speakers installed at a place in my hometown and the speakers sounded pretty good. But I had a bright idea to change the speakers out. I took pictures to know where everything went back so I wouldn't have no problems. It's got the LC2I hooked up before the amp and after that the two subs.  Mail all I am getting is a red light on my amp saying protection mode and no sound at all!!!! I only had one set of  Speaker wire running to my  LC2I they had two jumpers on that speaker wire to fill up the input side. Then  On the other plug in was a hot running from the hot on the  Amp ,  The ground running from the ground on the amp,  And the blue wire Which is the remote wire the same way from the amp to the LC2I.  Then from the amp output which was the speaker wires from there to the Subs. Now my  Speakers are sucking in and making a funny nose Am I ever fire is blinking red. They only had one speaker wire from the only left side of my truck between the doors Spliced to 2 wires. Is it correct or does the splice need to come from the left side and the right side of truck?

Are you attempting to bridge the amp? Remove your jumpers and place the positive wire on the far left and negative wire on the far right and leave the 2 inner slots empty.

If it helps, mtx has a good user guideline for amp, subs install, matching up your ohms correctly.

How many speaker wires should be  Running to the back of my truck to my LC2I. If ur only using half of the amps 4 wire output you'll burn the amp up I would think!!

  I'm also trying to figure out how they only sent one speaker wire to the LC2 I and then jumped with two wires. Mywifes car had a set of speaker wires running from best door and a set from the right side then 4 hooked up to LC zI nojumpers then c) from amp to Speakers!!!!!! Why is that?

usually a trouble light on a amp means a short.  When I did a set-up sorta like that, I found my connections to the sub to be incorrect.  That would lead to funky sounds.  

 

Tapping only one channel is pure laziness.  But dont confuse the facts.  The system worked before u made changes.  Go back and check your connections.  Ensure you didnt cross connections or pinch a wire.

 

When u resolve this issue.  Buy a harness from the guy on the FB site Silverado Audio.  He makes a harness that require no hunt and strip, gets u L/R to go into LC2i.

No it is right the lc2 can have one set of speaker wires going into it. And jumpers going out. With a amp sup it matters even less. 

If everything is hooked up same and red light on amp disconnect the subs and turn it on if amp lights up good. I would first look at the ohms of the sub. At that time you can also see if they are blown. When you say they suck in that sounds like the polarity is also reversed.
