thegr8cody Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 i finally got my a3000db picked up,and while i was there they said they put in some n248's instead of n246's so it should be more powerful a lil.well i hooked it up after taking out the db drive 1200 and the power acoustik sounds like ass,there no lows well there is but hardly no sound more like a woofer flop and a lil air movement,and theres no highs,you used to feel it in your chest and now you cant feel nothing.theres barely any sound coming uot of the woofer and its moving a good bit.i tweeked and tweeked i messed with all my setting set them every way i can i dont know what else to do any ideas?

white_boi_audio Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Sounds to me like you have the sub out of phase go check your wiring I am pretty positive you got a wire backwards somewhere.

thegr8cody Posted November 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 tried that to.hooked them up backwards and the sub was hittin in instead of out.so swapped them back out,it was beatin hard with the 1200 and i took it out and immediately put the power acoustik in Quote 1998 gmc sierra h/u:eclipse cd3200 sub:dd9518g d1.5 amp:jl e300/4 sub amp:dd m2a front stage:id ctx65cs dc power 270 alt lots of kicker 1/0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegr8cody Posted November 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 yea.it was cause my buddy who i sold it to blew the capacitors and all 16 transistors so i dont know why the sound is messed up on it, Quote 1998 gmc sierra h/u:eclipse cd3200 sub:dd9518g d1.5 amp:jl e300/4 sub amp:dd m2a front stage:id ctx65cs dc power 270 alt lots of kicker 1/0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Well, they may have screwed up the polarity on one of the capacitors, but most likely it's because they put in the new n248 transistors which were probably engineered for entirely different applications. There's a reason PA used the n246's... hmm... because otherwise it made the amp sound like crap in a blender?

thegr8cody Posted November 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 yes it did,i was really looking forward to getting it 1200 watts was so good so i was imagining what 2300 would and it sound like ass it makes me so mad i didnt think the transistors would have anything to do with the sound but then again i dont know to much about it,but they're gonna gear about it in a few minutes they open at ten so now i can vent it out, Quote 1998 gmc sierra h/u:eclipse cd3200 sub:dd9518g d1.5 amp:jl e300/4 sub amp:dd m2a front stage:id ctx65cs dc power 270 alt lots of kicker 1/0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI James Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 sorry to hear about you amp woes. but this amp does NOT put out 2300 on its best day, if youd like proof there are some clamp test done on termpro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you post links? I'm interested in these tests James.
