.Masta X Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 So i got 2 12s planet audio runnin on 3k watt planet audio amp. had this system for half a year and its been tuned and wired at right ohm so everything is correct. i left the country for a month and i come back and this is what my subs do.. its tuned to where i can turn my bass knob all the way up and amp is tuned to 34vol. but now i turn my subs and bass 1/4 way up and volume on 26 then my subs start to short.. like they hit then they stop. then again and again. its 100 degrees where i live so i thought my amp could be too hot and its going into protect mode.. without having my amp on it felt pretty warm cause of our weather.. i thought that could be why. also the other day i turned my bass up and volume up wanted to see if they'd start working but my amp started to go onto protect mode which is when my amp's protect mode lamp starts to flicker so i turned it off and then lowered the volume and it all works fine..no more protect mode.. but now on 0 bass and they still hit but not all that much at all. what could cause that? i checked by JC Adudio they said my subs are the problem and they are out-timing or not working properly.. but how? i havent used them in a month and magically they start to do that? weird shit.. Thanks in advance!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyfromthe407 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Could be a number of things...Check all coils. I would agree thinking that it would be the amp over the subs. Especially in 100 degree weather. I live in Fl and it gets hot as all hell here. Hot to the point where my amp would go into protect if I didn't park under shade. Check your coils..

BJD3 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) If you're just looking for things to check, one easy (though probably unlikely) thing is your ground. Make sure its still tight and its still a metal on metal connection. Heh. I got ninja'd. Edited July 14, 2011 by BJD3 Quote Anti Peel and Seal...lol You may be offended by the above.

C-Fizzy Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 If your subs "meter" wrong. Then you have blown coils. Which could send the amp into protect.
