JMac91 Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Its people like you who try to screw over companies with warranty loop holes that ruin it for the rest of us with legit issues Hey bud, I paid for the damn thing, if I wanna give it a shot ill give it a shot. So dont get butt hurt. Im not trying to screw over anyone, I feel that the amp shouldnt have done that considering the gain was still halfway down.. Also considering when it happened I was hardly playing them at what.. volume 10-15.. and they normally take alot more.. Legit enough for me.. They werent going through hell.. Kinda disappointed in the subs. Not to mention a few people on this site in the first place saying my amp wont even put out its full potential, and will prolly put out slightly less rms than the subs are capable of. BTW that video is epic.... "holy shit that is a lot of smoke" Bahaha, you let out the magical blue smoke. Once you do that, you appliances no longer work! That sucks man, I am on set number 3 with my amp. I keep buying cheap subs, guess that is what I get... BTW pioneer subs rated for 300 watts RMS don't like it when you feed them 900Watts RMS....Just sayin...I did the same thing too. Lol yea.. thanks man. Mine are the champ series pro rated 1krms each.

bassinblazer Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 I had 900 watts running to one of the regular ones, just to see how long it would last. Well I didn't even have the amp turned up half way, and it bumped good at about 450 or 500 RMS for a few days. Then, I did a bass test....and turned my bass boost knob up half way....The bass test was no longer a bass test, as much as a mids and highs test after that. I wish I would have video'd that shiz, it was funny....But I give Pioneer credit. Their cheapest 12" sub took a beating for 3 days at about 500 RMS and sounded good doing it. Alas, the smoke has cleared, and now there is no bump in my trunk.... Thread unhijacked. Quote BassinBlazer JL[RF][Kenwood][AQ] I need a new amp! Sell me your amp!

hdorre Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) you over powered it and were not covering it. Silly warrantees.. If I were a dealer/manufacturer, I wouldnt cover it. How is it their fault that you dont know how to tune an amp and make a proper box? Re-read your warranty and check what it says about you damaging the woofer. So no need to bash, it was my fault, but TECHNICALLY wasnt. ill attempt to fix the god damned subs. Please tell me where I "bashed" you. I just made a simple response and gave you advice on how to check your warranty. If you wanna get bashed, Ill do it...happily How wasnt that "technically" not your fault? Are you going to try to blame the amp, which you tuned? Why so hostile?

You must have a very large brain to hold so much ignoranceLike I said, they prolly wont cover it but it doesnt hurt to call and see.. Is that so wrong? I think you meant arrogance But nothing wrong with seeing if they will but when you start using loopholes to your ignorance of product usage than that's wrong. Warranties aren't there to protect the user from them selves. But to protect the user and company from defective products.

bassinblazer Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Well from what I am seeing, I would throw a tester on your amp, supposing you haven't touched it, and see what it is actually putting out. If it equates to at or less than 2K rms, then you should be good. If not, then it wouldn't be covered. Quote BassinBlazer JL[RF][Kenwood][AQ] I need a new amp! Sell me your amp!
