Rebel4055 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 How did you set your gain? Sounds like the voltage is dropping too much for the amp to handle. Rest In Peace mother.

Rebel4055 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 If he has the amp clipping like hell his voltage will drop like a rock. Rest In Peace mother.

auzzyb Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Not enough current. Need bigger power wire. Or you are trying to run the wrong ohm load causing it to go into protection. 2007 Chevy Silverado Ext Cab kenwood excelon kdc-x995 4-jl audio tr650-cxi 1-single probox 10" upfire vented enclosure JL audio 500/1 v1 JL audio jx 360/2 JL audio signal wires Memphis 4 gauge Kicker 2 gauge LA 50 farad capacitor 24" U2 black rims 305/35/24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
