bass machine

[Rayz92]

i have a soundstream bx-20z bass machine. i got it for the music i listen to the doesn't really have any bass to give it a little extra umph.
My question is how can i wire it so i don't have it wired together to my amp cuz i tried that and amp would eventually go to protect mode. so thats a no go.
by wiring i mean the battery, ground, and remote.

Im not shure what your talking about have pics?

yeah ill post one right now. its basically a epicenter knock off. (from what ive heard)

Then why the hell would you hook the power up to the amp? It should have its own connections, just wire it up like any other audio equipment.

this is my set up.

ok so run a cable from the battery to the unit. can i get away with using the remote from the amp so it will turn off when the amp is off?

sorry guys ive never wired up multiple audio equipment.

NEVER, EVER, wire another audio component to the amp EVER! Yeah just run it like the amp with its own cables, and just tie into the remote wire from the deck. I dont think you will need a relay for it, I doubt the Bass machine will draw too much power from the remote turn on.

thanks boss.
ill do that then see how it turns out

I can promise you it will be fine if you power it by itself.

I think the wiring is pretty getto... but im going to venture to say re wiring your gear wont solve the amp going into protect when its hooked up... that unit i think ups you voltige going in to your amp and if your using that before the amp you need to turn your amps gain all the way down so you dont fry your amp thats why its going into protect not the way its wired.....

Although it's messy, I have to agree that that mess of wires isn't causing your problem. I could draw a picture of how your wiring is the exact same as using a distribution block, but to some people facts are meaningless.

So, first thing I have to ask is what kinda amp is that, what kinda speaker(s) does it have, and what resistance are they being run at?

Next, is that mounted to the trunk floor or is it on the back of the seat?

Lastly, where does the ground wire run to?

Looks like its a kicker amp

I can tell that, but I can't tell what model, whether it's 2 or 4 channel, or what impedance it's stable to.

Its a kicker amp 750w rms x 1 at 2 ohms / 375 rms x1 at 4ohms
Wired parallel to two Kenwood 12" subs 400rms each

The amp has 4g ground and battery cable.
how can I figure out the resistance im running?

The amp is on the back of the seat
and it grounded to one of the rear seat brackets

what size faring is that yakima panel

Ok....guess peoole dont read my posts.....TURN DOWN THE GAIN ON YOUR AMPThe bass machine is an line driver with an bass inhancer when using an line driver you have to turn down your gain or your amp will go into protect and eventualy fry!!! mabe you saw what i said this time hope it helps
