ohms, which wire is which? Common, run and start.Also if the 3 in 1 is hooked up wrong will it fry anything?

to determine terminals on compressor, remove relay and use ohmmeter to determine resistance between terminals. Since there are 3 terminals, you will end up with 3 resistance readings. Write these readings down. The highest reading will be between start and run. The midrange reading will be between common and start. The lowest reading will be between common and run. The wiring diagram for the 3 in 1 is on the package, so wiring it wrong shouldn't be an issue. Good luck.

make a diagram of the three poles on the compressor and mark them 1, 2 and 3. Check the resistance between the 1 & 2 mark it down on your diagram. Check the resistance between 1 & 3 and mark it down on your diagram. Check the resistance between 2 & 3mark it down on your diagram. Two of the resistances should be the same or nearly the same. The other should be different. The two that are the same are the run and start circuits. example if 1 & 2 and 3 & 2 are the same then 2 is the common wire accordingly. also if you have a wiring diagram on the fridge, you might find the run/start circuits listed there. make a diagram of the three poles on the compressor and mark them 1, 2 and 3.

There is a diagram with it. The black wires go to the hot and neutral. I guess it would not be good for the compressor to wire it wrong, hence the diagram.

I used 14 AWG stranded, because I use it as a constant fan for my truck. I also used a relay with an inline fuse to the battery for power, grounded to a good ground for power and switch ground. I attached the positive of the relay switch to a switch leg and back to a power source that is only on when the key is in the ignition at on position. check your manual or use a multimeter and test fuses that are only on with the key and off when the ignition is off. This protects your battery from drain and your electrical system from a fire. Maybe over kill but I had a vehicular fire under both gasoline and electrical (not proud of it just grateful to be alive). I hope that was of some help.

That is a lot of initial starting current! It should run if you can get through the starting surge and have the input power to support it. For resistive loads the starting current is as much as 7X the steady state current--I don't know what your load is, but I suspect you will trip the overload if you draw that much power, Hope this helps.

Yeah 2 ohm but i like the mono blocks because they 1ohm stable anyway rather you 1ohm it are not with a 5 channel either its a mids an high amp are a all in one either way you will over heat that amp if it ant the true watts on it an blow it up

Mos tlikely a 'fail safe' from power surge to protect your unit. Mine did the same thing for days as I scratched my head and tried numerous things. Discovered it was a shorted out and crossed iwred speaker wire from one of my Polk Audio sourround speakers. It was shorting and causing the unit to shut down. I had to connect a different amp to find out. My Sony told me it was a bad wire connection.Check ALL your cables, wires, and connectors. All must be tight and not shorts. All tips must be terminated properly.

With no problems . As long as your wiring is correct . Mine ran my four alpine type r 12s and never got hot at 1ohm . The amp is worth the buy . Take the chance you won't be let down .

Just for you...I turned y meter on this morning and stuck the leads into some water in a cup. It has a floating decimal that was reading 1.023 OHMS when I done this. I am an older guy here in late 50's. I will be honest and tell you I never heard of "sub ohms". Explain a little for me?

I am using a 470ohm in mine. I have a lot of failure with this batch.first batch came as positive ground. The second batch came as negative ground. I have not used the new ones yet.

It is 1 ohm stable but I've ran mine at .5 since I got it with no problems. It will void ur warrenty though

I wrote a review for them after buying 2 of them. match them with the SSL 4000.1 EVO amp and wire correctly... 4ohm and they will blow yer window seals out. if you try to wire down to 2ohm you WILL fry the VC's. 4Ohm is perfect and the 4000.1 EVO amp matches up perfect. just run them in series at 4Ohm and you will not be disappointed brother.

I fused the incoming side of mine. When I put the fuse in it popped very loud. I thought something was wrong also but it did not blow the fuse and when I checked the voltage on the other wires it was a perfect 12V. Still kinda scary hooking it up but I guess it is normal.

I run 4 WS amps I have 3 hc2400s and have no problem. I would run at least 3 if u can afford or maybe start with 2 and see what run time is like. 6 amps is alot with 1-2 battery its just gonna die in hour or so. Then your alt. Is gonna be working twice as hard. 6 amps may be more problem then pleasure. Just my 2 cent.

you need a 2 ohm Dual voice coil to make 1 ohm or 4 ohm connection. Do no under power this sub. I've been blasting 3000w+ for almost 2 years and it loves it. I bought a 2000w fosgate amp and the amp wasn't enough. protection mode way too early. I went back to my old 3500w mono refurbed amp and no issues again. Shouldn't have fixed what wasnt broken. Best sub around for the $$$.. I promise.

I run mine on a 20Amp line. I don't use anything else on the same circuit at the same time so keep that in mind, also keep to the 2 min on, 8 min off cycle. It's like running a vacuum cleaner, keep the current low. I hope this helps.

Chris is right, I spoke with the elect who checked mine when I hooked it up. He said, not only will that not work right with the way the wire hookups are in the heater, it's against most elect codes. I would put in new breakers and wire just to make sure everything is good. You wouldn't want to fry something that's so expensive. Mine has been going for 4years now..... Still going strong.Hope this helps.

Are the subs wired correctly for 4ohms or 2 ohms. If so your gains need to be adjusted properly and any boosts from your deck turned off

These are a stright forward install to any single coil location , just drop it in. As for the wires , the two that are soldered together are to stay soldered together unless you want to do coil tapping. In that case you separate them and connect them to a on / off toggle. The white is hot and black is ground.
