  1. hi everyone, just got my amps back from audiosavings(hifonics goliath xxv), i blew it the first time from some odd reason. so since then i upgraded all my grounds, triple checked everything. got it hooked up. annd now its playing good. but the problem is its getting very hot after playing for about 30 mins. is that normal? because my last amp was the kicker zx750.1 and it doesn't even get hot. just curious because its my first time having a high wattage amp. also it seems that my btls doesn't move that much compared to youtube videos. setup is on my sig. thanks!
  2. yup, same as a pc case. just make sure you got an intake and an exhaust and you are good to go.
  3. where do you DL this track? can't find it on itunes...
  4. hmmm it wasn't moving my btl's that much. maybe because the btl's were newly reconed. it was painfully loud even though the btl's were not moving that much. i bought it from auddiosavings. i emailed them and told them that the amp doesn't work now. but didn't tell what exactly happen, do you think they will replace it?
  5. i have two boxes, i just noticed the speaker terminals on the one on the left was loose, the it was still attached i used a bolt with a nut on that but forgot to put a washer. the nut got loose a little bit so the ring terminals might have jiggled a little bit and not have full contact. it may have afffected the impedance do you think thats the reason why?
  6. it was ran at 1ohm load. 2 pcs 1dvc 18" fi btls wired series/parallel like this: http://www.the12volt.com/12voltimages/2_1ohm_dvc_1ohm.gif i did email mike about it and got a reply immediately. im still in the process of negotiating right now i hope it gets fixed fast. im really confused as to why that kind of thing would have happened. mike told me i have blown gate resistors and possibly blown mosfets which would indicate low impedance and/or high distortion
  7. hi mike i just installed the amp for about 2 days. i was parked outside the las vegas sun for work, after i got off i bumped it for about 20 mins, not continues. rested for a couple of minutes while driving. then turned it up a little bit(not max) then i heard a popping sound. so i turned the radio off, turned it on again after a couple minutes, popping sound again. and smell was worse. got home popped the amp open and took a picture of it. the amp was very very hot, cant touch it without some gloves when i got home. i bought my amp brand new on audiosavings. electrical: stock alt + MLA 1 kinetik hc1800 in front 3 kinetik hc2400 in the back voltage was average 15v when bumpin, comes down to 13v+ i am really curious as to why the amp shut off. btw the bass remote LED showed a red color. i didn't want to connect it again because i saw the black mark inside the amp what do you guys think? you think the amp got too hot thats why it happened? should the thermal protect kick in first before popped?
  8. get a shop to do it that will let you watch them while they are working on it. so next time you know how to do it.
  9. good for you guys at night its cold, here in las vegas its as if there is no difference between day and night temps Today 111°/84° Wed 111°/91° Thu 109°/89° Fri 112°/89°
  10. hows the idle output on those db electrical? i bought one of the 200 amp ones and it seems that my stock 130amp alt is stronger even when im reving.
  11. double the amount of woofers?
