Using a Full Range RCA for Sub Amp Bad?

Recommended Posts

say you have a head unit that has no sub out but has an output that has all frequencies coming out of it. is it bad for a sub amp to get all those frequencies?

supposing the filters were set correctly and all

No.

Just filter it.

The amp isn't doing anything with the frequencies, they're filtered before amplified.

it is switching back and forth between protect and not.

i hooked it up to a different load and it still did it so i can assume the sub wasnt the issue. voltage isnt a problem. it isnt great but isnt sub 12s. it stays 13s normally

im thinking some internals got rattled loose as it is mounted on the face of the box where the sub is

I'd try to elminate possiblities by putting the amp on a bench connected only to a battery and the sub. If it doesn't do this out of the car, then the problem is in your electrical. If it does, I'd crack the case open and start looking for blown caps.
