C-Fizzy Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 For 450 amps of current. You need a High output alt and 2-3 big batteries. under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?

armykyle1 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 whatever voltage the amp goes into protect at.. i couldnt find it in the manual, then again i skimmed it looking for X-18V idk about 9v. its obvious if your shits at 9v cause your lights go out. ima say.. 11.6V @ 2k rpm when it hits protect. what kind of vehicle? year, brand, model? (need more info so we can bet on your voltage) it won't protect at 11.6.....

SpawnZ Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Well, my lights aren't going out, but they do dim before the amp goes out. So it's probably around 9v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's probably around 9v Well if your lights are dimming hard and you have little electrical upgrades you can have up to 2 volt drop at amp so then you are seeing super low at amp and causing it to protect. I would say check when you are playing but it really isn't good for that amp to be playing like that. Get some electrical upgrades then try. Or try regainsetting then try for a second.

I'm pretty sure I wire'd it to 1 ohm, unless a wire got messed up from the port. I'd have to check with a DMM wouldn't I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
