Dinzu Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 I have an Audiopipe 3500 on a Fi BTL 18, have been beating it fine for about 2 months now and on the way home from college tonight it cut in and out about 4 times then stopped working. It wasn't even turned up enough to actually bang, just enough to blend in with the highs/mids at low volume. I checked the amp and its not in protect so I checked all of the wiring to make sure everything was connected and it was, pulled the sub out of the box to see if the speaker wires were in and they were. What else could it be? Quote
SR20DAZE Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Fried a voice coil maybe, put a multi meter to the coils and check if they are tge rated ohms or close to it Edited April 6, 2011 by sr20daze Quote Hahah damn cody She ain't that sexy.

Dinzu Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Fried a voice coil maybe, put a multi meter to the coils and check if they are tge rated ohms or close to it Do they go bad on low volume levels? Seems odd, its not being overpowered at all I only have the gain set to 2000 watts before box rise. Edited April 6, 2011 by Dinzu Quote
Rebel4055 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 Subs blow when you don't gain stuff correctly. Or if you overpower. Quote Rest In Peace mother. January 22, 1955 - February 14, 2013 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/user/35351-megrch/
Supercharged DCs Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 Possible clipped signal, did you use a oscope to set your gain? Quote Bassless once again. Can't seem to keep a system for more than a few weeks Saving for a '06 Nissan 350z, look for build around June 2012.
Rebel4055 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 How do you even know you are getting"2000w" did you clamp it? and did you set the gain with a oscope? Quote Rest In Peace mother. January 22, 1955 - February 14, 2013 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/user/35351-megrch/
Dinzu Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Posted April 6, 2011 How do you even know you are getting"2000w" did you clamp it? and did you set the gain with a oscope? Not saying im getting that much, just set it using a DMM going by the square root of 2000 since im at 1 ohm Quote
crispy_chick3n Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 most likely a clipped signal. pics of the amp settings/wiring would help a great deal. Quote This page is crispy_chick3n approved. © crispy_chick3n inc
Rebel4055 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 You using any bass boost? are you sure the amp is even putting out anything? and what's the voltage looking like at the amp.

Dinzu Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) You using any bass boost? are you sure the amp is even putting out anything? and what's the voltage looking like at the amp. Bass boost was on 4db. And are you talking voltage at the speaker - and +? Drove an hour and a half with it barely moving(flat eq settings, volume on 24/35, bass almost completely off) when this happened so not sure why it would of been clipping with those settings. I'll put a DMM on the speaker terminals tomorrow morning though and see if the coils are fine. Edited April 6, 2011 by Dinzu Quote
