  1. nice dude! congrats. any vids? i cant imagine how 8 months with no beat felt like. bass withdrawl takes a major toll on me :D

    well im going to a wedding today so dont have time for any vids, but ill try get some tmrw..:) got it running off my old monoblock, soon ill have time to finish the job on the one i bought off from you, i got it working man :)

    i forgot what my TC sub had sounded like.. box is tuned to 27hz.. time for a new one, 2.6cu ft @32Hz.. running off the brutus, it will def put a smile on my face! :D

  2. Still cant figure this out. Strange things are occuring. I ran the ipod straight to the amp. Whine went away...so i traced the problem forward to the head unit. Dicover that somehow if i moved the ANTENNA wire the subs popped...i have no clue why. I am wondering if i did drop the rca cables and it hit the power cable. YES I SHOULD HAVE DISCONNECTED THE NEGATIVE ON THE BATTERY...on a funny yet sad note i also managed to crack the face of the coating on my p1 sub..

    n some headunits there is a micro fuse between the main ground and the rca ground, you might have blown it, happened to me on my Pioneer HU.

    the fix is this:

    give it a try my friend, it might solve your problem. always disconnect RCA's befor you disconnect amp/HU grounds!!

    good luck,

  3. Man we have all been through this.. Heck i spent the last 6 months trying to fix a monoblock amp, changed out nearly evry part until i got it working, but ive lernt alot in the process.. Dont give up so soon, just takes some time to rule out each possible cause. Check fuses, and make sure all settings on the headunit are set correctly. Try hooking up an ipod straight to the amp and see if there is any diffrence. Check check check.

  4. dropped the amp back in.. getting B+ (as in 12v)on the RCA ground!! got this reading on the DMM when the amp was turned off so i assume it would still have B+ on the signal ground when on.

    anyone seen this before?

  5. If i put a 100 ohm 1/2W resistor on the ground between the amp and HU would it do any good?

    either way ill go tmrw and get some thick healthy ground wire, run it straight from the battery! hope that does the trick

  6. something just came to mind.. both amps are grounded to the same spot, yet only the mono block seems to be grounding through the RCA's..therefor i think something is F@#cked in the amp. which is a real bummer for me =\\.

    where should i start from? i guess the DC-DC power supply would be the only possible cause.

  7. I've just put the amp back in (took it out and opened it up to investigate.. all seems well, been through it with the DMM), but for some darn reason the amp is grounding itself through the RCA's..

    As i put the fuse back in near to the Battery, the RCA AND the HU ground wire started to heat up. maybe i should connect it straight to the battery after all.. funny though how it happens suddenly like that.

  8. i have never once burnt out a set of RCAs, so i guess i cant help too much.

    it sounds odd that this amp has done it multiple times, even with different head units.

    have you considered swapping the amp out for something else?

    I wish I could, would go for a Sundown SAZ-1500D.. But the small amount of cash i do have at the moment pays the bills.. lol
