JustinT Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 For some reason my Fi's are no where near what they used to be. Now when I turn my bass knob up just a little bit, something in the system freaks out and the subs react chaotically. It doesn't even seem like it is clipping or anything. The subs will be playing at a nice sine wave at low power and then I'll turn it a little more and it freaks out. Today I: Tried playing some sine waves to see if it were from the songs I have been playing but it still did the same thing. Tried it without the knob and used the volume for bass...same thing Adjusted the gain...still the same at 1/4 gain Checked the coils...they're fine All the connections are good too I don't what the problem is And if I can't figure it out I might sell everything because I could use the $. If anyone could help I would Greatly appreciate it.

ZaintheBassHitter Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Did you try playing it without the bass knob? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinT Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Did you try playing it without the bass knob? Yeah. I even tried switching to my new Sundown knob and still to no avail.

I could probably play straight from my iphone but it probably wouldn't play much at all because itis most likely a very low voltage output.

fox_racin4 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 they make an rca cord, that had a 3.5mm end, on one end and normal rcas on the other try that but start with your volume down and slowly turn it up Quote 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team_DC-Derrick Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 did you take the subs out to see if all the connections are good? you could have a loose one in there and when they start moving, the wires start trying to do some funky shit... but i do agree, its like 8 bucks at radio shack.. 3.5mm to rca males, should be fine to test at the amp with it Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

JustinT Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Still does it on the iphone, though it was still slightly louder. Excursion only get to about 3/8" - 1/2" before it starts. Could it be something to do with current draw? But my voltage doesn't drop down? Also what will happen if you don't back down on the knob/volume is that the amp will go into protection mode or something and the subs will make this slow rhythmic chirping sound. But when this happens the protection light doesn't come on, but the power light dims and brightens with the same rhythm. What is going on? Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Team_DC-Derrick Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 check your grounds... if the power light is flashing you could have a connection issue, power and grounds, please check them and double check them Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......
