Grounds are solid

Imma take the amp to a shop get it tested.. I don't have any other setup or cables to test it in before I order the rcas online. I looked inside the amp no signs of anything being wrong.

Damn, wish i had an extra set laying around.

Yes sir. I only took out the box/sub. I left the amp in there with wires connected still but was sure to cut the neg, and pos speaker wires so they wouldn't blow the outputs.. so I'm almost positive that's not it. I'm thinking more along the lines of RCA's.. or Fuses being that when i was moving everything around my power touched the damn screw driver i had back there. But if the amp is getting power I don't think it would be any fuse under the hood/ or inside the car. So I'm thinking RCA'S. Not exactly sure how I can test that though.. When I was putting everything back together I relocated my amplifier to the back of the seat, doing so I wounded up my RCA'S and zip tied the extra to tuck away.. I think that's what did it.

Well, I had decided to keep my setup I have now instead of selling it.. So I went to put everything back inside the car, Amp/sub/box. Well I do so and I'm having problems. My amplifier turns on no problem, but it's not sending a signal to the subwoofer. So I check the gains everything is fine, i put the wires onto another speaker and I can slightly hear noise it makes not music, but static for the slight second i tap them onto the speaker. I checked the voltage it's fine at 13.4, the amp turns on so I would assume it's not for the remote.. RCA's are hooked up correctly. I'm kinda at a loss at this point, I would assume maybe bad RCA's being that I can hear the static from them, but there isn't music playing? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I do have a DMM but it's a cheapo from RadioShack. If it makes any difference it's a SKAR 1500.1 and a DC level 4 m2 12''. Thanks again.

I have a SKAR 1500.1 for 280 plus shipping if your interested. It's 1 Ohm stable, does rated, and has a gain knob that comes with it. It's only 6 months old. 9/10 cosmetically 10/10 mechanicly. If your interested please feel free to PM me and I'll check shipping tomorrow. Thanks!

That problem is resloved man, more worried about why the amp popped into protect.

Why did the amp pop into protect then? Just because it was that hot in the car?

Reads 2-2.4 so it's good.

I'll pull it. Once I aired out the car it started working again.. I wanna think it just got really hot in the car. Te amp is hot as hell. I haven't been playing that's just from the sun.

will check now, I can check through terminal speakers right? Instead of taking it all out?

Didn't unplug anything and it's going again.. Could it be because it's hot in the car?

Well.. I started up my car today.. No bass and the amp decided to jump into protect mode.. Gunna take off power an put it back in.. Any ideas?

Sounds good thanks. I just don't wanna sound like a Ricer going down the road..

It is aggressive at idle.. And when it's revved.. But sounds dif when driving.. It's hoooorible sounding I get a high constant pitch sound eeeeeeeeeeeeeee from 4-6 rpms

Yeah.. Was afraid of that. Damn well I could live with that sound I suppose. Sounds like that now honestly. But web I drive it as its at 4-6 Rpms sounds completely dif, it's literally a single tone till it shifts eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee shift. Just kills me. If I put a muffler on now, without putting the piping back on it it will still pass smog correct? Since there would be a cat, and muffler?

Well.. recently on my Mitsubishi Eclipse I decided it would be a "cool" idea to take off my muffler. So I cut the muffler off, and left some pipe before the Cat. I'm starting to get really annoyed with the sound honestly, it's horrible, I can hear the air flutter, not to metion it seems to have killed my gas milage. My question is, is it possible to get a throaty sound from my Eclipse? It's a 4 Cyl.. 2.0 non turbo DOCHE 16 Valve motor. I don't know much at all in the exhaust or mechanics catagory. Any input is great. This is the sound Im looking for.

were you playing below tuning at all? don't believe so my high pass and low pass were set correctly. It wasn't able to play a certain part of the song tho but that's just the hpf and lpf working correct? If it sounds like the cone is just moving with out much force, yes. But if it sounds like it has a nasty weird punch of bass, then it's not. Yeah, its not bottoming out..

I thought so as well just wanted to make sure.
