Hey guys, my friend has two 12" subs in my beretta and the other day we took it out of the trunk to clean everything up. While it was out I bought some bigger wire to go from the amp to the terminals then to the subs. Now the subs play horrible at higher volumes where as it didn't before. Whats up with em? The wire I bought was this monster (subwoofer) wire thats rated for up to 1600 watts (amp is 1500 watts, subs are 380 rms each 1300 max each), and the old wiring was just small wiring we had laying around, yet it played way better before. Thanks for any help with this annoying problem. If ya need any more info let me know.

did you wire them up correctly? ie: parallel/series?

we just put the new wiring in how and where we got the old wiring out. the only thing that I could think of is a wiring prob somewhere because it was perfectly fine before and the wiring is the only thing we did besides stuffing the box. could too small of a connector (the metal piece at the ends of the wire to connect it to terminals or what not) do this? because the wire is a fair size (12 gauge) and we didn't have any pieces big enough to fit the end properly, so we made due with smaller ones.

very possible if the wire strands are hanging loose, could be shorting the sub out......but the old wiring back it, just be sure its something with the new wires....and not just dumb luck with the subs....
