the sub is a 7" subsolution tsss rated at 160W I know I know not name brand big bass xxxx but it sound good and I can still use the back of the cab. I didn't get the system to piss off my neighbors I got it to listen to. Alpine amp is rated at 220W peak 140W constant bridged at 4ohms. So 220/2 = 110W max load would be put on the amp 70 watts constant and I don't think I put more than 50 watts on it. I didn't stress the amp. According to alpine (tech support their is no damn way I could have come close to the limits using the 8 ohm unit)
To the alpine hater. ITS ALL JAP CRAP no matter what u buy. Alpine is at least partially american owned and desighned. I used to be a sony fan but they cant get their mechanisms right on the mobile decks.
I was truckin along for about 2-3 hours and "What the f@#$ is that smell. No bass. danm I was pissed. I still had a hundred miles to go and I still had to come back and no bass. CHecked the fuse, blown. OK replace the fuse, pop. Not the speaker. I tested it on my brothers car. took it to the shop. set right at 7.95 ohms

As far as the install this was the first time I had a shop do it since I didn't want to tear into a brand new truck. Dispite the amp issue 70 bucks for an install to be was worth it. I'm confused as to the how I wired it question. their is only one way to wire it?
4 guage i think, red to the battery. 4 guage black to the frame. blue to the remote on the deck. in bridge mode plus to plus and minus to minus on the speaker. 2 rca cables which don't matter because its mono. amp is bolted under the seat
so any idea as the verdict? simple that one in ten thousand that came out of the factory bad. I still can't rule out somethin roling around and shorted it out. I have to have everything double check to see if they pinched a wire somewere when installed. we'll see
