jmilch Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Did you read anything else? TURN THE BASS BOOST DOWN. i already has. i cant test it out right now unless i wont to wake my neighbors but hopefully all this wonderful advice will work. It will work well. You may want to read up on tuning in the amp and not clipping.

C-Fizzy Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 You can't really read up on tuning the amp.. OP, I would get in line to buy the SMD DD-1. Seriously worth $140. under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?

Benji0687 Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 it wont protect unless i run it for more than an hour but even if it doesn't protect it smell like its burning and i recently burnt myself by leaning up against it. 1. Your most likely clipping.... 2. Your most likely clipping.... 3. Turn your bass boost down.... 4. Dont Clip at your headunit 5. Buy Distortion Detector from wcCaraudio.com 6. tune gains properly... 7. Its FUCKING HOT OUTSIDE NO SHIT AN AMP WILL BE HOT SO IS EVERYONE ELSES.. 8. Run AC in car 9. ALways leave car on when bumping Is your attitude really necessary? This guy is just asking for advice to help troubleshoot a problem with his amp. He was nice, polite, and respectful. Its not like you know everything that there is to know about car audio anyways (and I don't either). So if you would please, go easy on the attitude. OP, what size power and ground wire are you using? Where'd you ground your amp to? Yeah the bass boost isn't a good idea...but half gain and half BB really shouldn't be causing the amp to overheat. Do you have a DMM? It probably wouldn't hurt to measure your final ohm load.

I meant tuning amps in general. And yes the dd1 would help.

crunkjuice1 Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Try no bass boost and turn gain to about 1 o'clock. Kinda from the hip shot but should work out. edit: if your sub D4 parallel 2ohms at amp, D2 sub parallel 1 ohm at amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna look at what subs you have but if they are dual 4ohm in parallel that would be 1ohm at amp. You obviously didn't read.
