Unhappy HELP!! Nothing's working anymore!

I just bought two Scosche EFX 10" subs model number (HDW1044) in a box. DVC 4 ohm, 250Watts RMS and 750 Watts Max (each) and I bought a 2 channel Pioneer Premier model number (PRS-D2100T) with 1200 Watts Max power, Continuous Power (4 ohm) 150 Watts x 2, Continuous Power (2 ohm) 300 Watts x 2, Continuous Power Bridged (4 ohm) 600 Watts x 1, I have the two subs bridged right now because they were already bridged when I bought them. I started my truck and everything worked fine, sounded great, but then the subs and amp shut off. I tried turning my truck off and turning it on again, but nothing happened. Amp and sub wouldn't come back on. Any ideas? Is my amp too powerful? Under powered? Any help is greatly appreciated!

check fuses on the amp, check to make sure the remote wire from the deck to amp is still attached, and check the power wire and ground to your amp for shorts etc. If inline fuse on the power wire to your amp check that aswell.

How exactly are the subs wired? It sounds like they are wired to a 1 ohm load which would explain why the amp shut off. They need to be wired to a 4 ohm load. Google "woofer wiring wizard" enter the # and dual 4 ohm and then look for the diagram labaled 4 ohm load. Your amp does not appear to be 1 ohm stable so this is your only option. Hopefully the amp is not pooched.

That is the set up of how I have it wired. I need to power wire and ground wire. I blew the fuse, that was why it turned off. Thanks though. I don't think it was the wiring for the amp. The amp said it could be bridged.


Is this the way it should be wired? The only difference I notice is the wires going to the amp. On the first one, they only go in at 2 different places, but on this one, all wires have their own place.
