Amp went up in smoke


Recommended Posts

Well I've had a pioneer PRS-D2000SPL for the past 2.5-3 years now and it finally kicked the bucket today. I wasn't going hard on it at all when it broke. Just went up in smoke when I was driving..

Only thing I can guess that caused it was being mounted on my box and it rattled it apart. Voltage always above 14, subs coils read perfect, amp set with a TPI-440 oscilloscope. I will see what Rusty can do for me on a DC 3500 or I may just be without a system for a while :/

Anyone have any other ideas of what could cause it?

Kenwood DNX9980HD
2 DCLVL4 12" Subs with LVL5 Parts D.7 Coils
DC 3.5k
Hertz HSK-165 up front HCX-165 Rear
Hertz HDP4 Amp
DC Power Engineering 260 Amp Alt
Big 3 and amp powered with KNU 1/0
XS Power D2400 Up Front

i pulled out my dick in class many of times and had it shown. get over it bitch...stupid open legged hairy beavered bitch...

going over rms = smaller box, under rms = bigger box...

Low voltage doesn't blow amps. That's a myth.

A router that does the sub holes makes rounded edges also?

have you opened the amp up yet?

That's why they don't deliver.

Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait.

You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start :D

I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

And no it smoked when I was going out for the night and I haven't gotten a chance to take it apart. I may today and get some pictures up.

I went to the page for the amp and Pioneer is claiming 180db... on the old 2006 iasca metering setup, lol! http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/25/29/182/PRS-D2000SPL/index.html

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through.

reason that they are saying that is that the truck they had had reached the 180 mark with like a crap load of those amps

That's why they don't deliver.

Well here's some more info: here's the last remaining part of my car that was installed by a shop. The remote wire. That wire has burnt the shielding off for a good 15 feet. And also melted the jacket of my power wire a little bit.
