Amp is not stable to 1 ohm...that's why it shuts down.

if your sub can be wired to 1 ohm then its a d2 sub ,which can also be wired to 4 ohms

But what is better 1ohm or 4ohm or jus leave it to 2 cuz my amp shuts off when playing loud and its kinda embarrising playing music and it jus stopping when a low bass note plays

what sub is it exactly , cvx i know but model number? you say its wired to 1 ohm but now your saying to leave it at 2 ohms .the sub is either a d4 which can be wired at 2 ohms or 8 ohms ,or a d2 which can be wired at 1 ohm or 4 ohms,which one

Its actually a cvr 07cvr152 2ohms but i was asking if it would be better at regular 2ohms or at 1 or 4ohms like u said

In that case, if the amp is 2 ohm stable, and your subs are 2 ohm. Wiring it to 2 ohm will give it the most rms.

Lower than 2 ohm will make your amp go into protect mode.

I did that and bridge it but it still shuts off bro can u explain why??

The sub is a dual 2 ohm. Meaning you can wire it to either 1 ohm or 4 ohm. NOT 2! Look up subwoofer wiring diagram. If the sub was a dual 4 ohm then you could run it at 2 ohm. Getting this? You're amp is not 1 ohm stable and that's the way you have it wired and the amp is going into protect. Wire it to 4 and you'll be pulling less watts but the amp won't go into protect anymore. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/suicide.gif.a649d21efc0d1fd4890a6428166586c1.gif
