SoundOfViolence Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 Right now I have a temporary 2channel 200w amp to push my Fi X12 (400w rms) and when I have the volume at my listening level (35) ...when songs with LOTS of bass come on the amps power light goes off with the heavy bass and back on when there isn't as much bass. If I turn the volume down it will play everything fine. The amp is a super old Pro Plus amp and I couldnt even find anything for it on the internet. I don't have the gains very high maybe turned up about 20%. Is this happening because its clipping really bad or like a bad ground? Any help appreciated! Quote Fi X12 AQ750 Pioneer DEH-6300B h/u

stevog Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 it can be a bad ground did you check if its grounded properly? Quote
DeathByWaffle Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 Hey, atleast its not like mine and after awhile of playing it turns off, its because I draw to much power:) Quote
SoundOfViolence Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) I got the wire in the amp real tight and I have it bolted down as tight as i could on my car. Also chipped the paint off where its bolted to. Edited December 16, 2011 by SoundOfViolence Quote Fi X12 AQ750 Pioneer DEH-6300B h/u

Also chipped the paint off where its bolted to. Did you sand down where the ground is? Could be some paint or something there making it not a solid connection ground. I had just a lil bit of paint and thought it would be fine. But mine would turn on but thats it. After going over everything I was told that and it was the problem.

Also chipped the paint off where its bolted to. where exactly do you have it grounded to? Is the grounding surface completely sanded down to bare metal because that was the problem I had with my system, if it isn't a clean ground it doesnt matter how tight you bolt it down. Quote
poorfish88 Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 The amp might be 2ohms stable stereo not bridged. Lots of old amps are this way. Quote
