Alright I just bought a zx750.1 amp to power my two type R's, it has been working fine so far but it has shut off a couple times when the music is really loud for like 5 seconds and then it comes back on. In the book it says it is probably not getting enough electricity.
The only reason why I can think of for it not getting enough power is because I have 10 gauge power wires hooked up and the book suggests 4 gauge, would that be why? |

um yes.
switch that out asap. 4 ga is ideal, might just want to run 1/0 gauge if you plan on upgrading later.
i cant believe you got any juice with 10 ga...when u switch it out those Type Rs will come alive! |

ether amp kicks azz but damn man you will be lucky u didn't hurt that kicker with that low of wire. heres a rule of thumb. 500 - 1000 rms, 4 guage or higher in wire. but remember the lower the number the thicker the wire is. also 400 or less rms 6 guage and thicker. your best bet is go 4 guage or higher. DO NOT run your system anymore with that tiny of wire or you WILL do damage. |

It would be louder with he zx750.1 and proper wiring. Unless it's the old R's, i would switch back to the kicker amp.
Your subs are Dual 2 ohm correct? |
