04SDExplorer Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 This just started today..If i set my volume at high levels before the bass starts hitting everything is fine. But if i'm at like volume 10 for example while bumpin and start turning the volume up, it almost sounds like the subs pulsate a little then the amp goes into protect. Anyone ever heard of this before? Like i said everything was fine until today.. Quote 2004 Explorer Limited 24" Lexani "pyros" wrapped in 255/30/24 pirelli's 270 Amp MechMan Alt.

BanginOnABudget Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) SD is the Sonic Destroyer module in your HU, it was originally in pioneer HUs, but its not in all HUs, you need to upgrade your HU, Punky Fup HUs are a good company. im shitting you, your subs might be the problem, the amp, the HU, its hard to tell.

stefanhinote Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Sounds like it's a problem with the amp since it goes into protect. Low voltage / hard clipping can send amps into protect, but since your saying that if you turn it up before the bass plays then its fine, suggests that it's probably not either. You could use a 3mm jack to rca adapter and use your ipod as a signal source instead of your HU. You may have to re set your gain since the ipod would have a different signal voltage then hu. If you do this and your amp works fine then perhaps something is screwy in your hu and it's clipping the signal. If you do this and the amp goes into protect then you know it's not the hu. Hope that helps shed some light on the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04SDExplorer Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I'll have to check that out man thanks! I'm sure it's not low voltage as it never falls below 12.8v so i can probably rule that out. but i will add in that today on my way home as i was turning up the remote gain control for the amp, it would do it until i let go of the gain control. So i'm thinking the issue may be with the amp, but i'm going to try the ipod first. Quote 2004 Explorer Limited 24" Lexani "pyros" wrapped in 255/30/24 pirelli's 270 Amp MechMan Alt.
