BackwoodsBumper Posted September 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 its louder when the amplifier shuts off when i turn it on its more faint and happens a few seconds after the light goes green. Then I turn my key off or my HU or something and the amp shuts off and makes like a click its deff coming from the amplifier is this normal or do i have a defective amplifier other than that it runs perfect.

kingsuv Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Quite a few amps will have a click on and off. This is the relays working inside the amp. This is normal, especially in larger power amps. Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out. not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickass audio Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 I have a dc 5.0k and there are two massive relays inside it next to the capacitors that are on the pcb. When i took off the cover to drool over the guts i saw them and they are pretty big, in fact they are bigger than the relay for your vehicles starter. There is no problem with them clicking as it is normal operation so dont worry about it. In fact i like that it has a relay so it wont consume as much power to try and kick the amp on to start it.
