Kdub26 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 It didn't do thus on my other sub.. :/ explain I had this same channel running my mtx and it sounded just fine. But on these sa8s it sounds like they are bottoming out how long have you been running the setup with the SA8's? Since today getting rid of that amp seems to be the ONLY thing to do right now. i know its all you have for now, but dont risk burning up decent equipment with a faulty amp.

Miguels Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) whats the tuning on the box? you also want to check the subsonic filter, make sure its not off or on the lowest setting edit:spelling Edited January 16, 2012 by Miguels Quote my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/

Miguels Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) if the subsonic is tuned lower than what the box is tuned to it will make it bottom out edit: if the box is at 32hz set the filter to 27hz or above like 30hz to be safe since you dont know where that is on the amp Edited January 16, 2012 by Miguels Quote my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/

Smoove Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 If your that determined to test/hear before you get the Fosgate. Test each sub one at a time on the good channel of the amp. Obviously the amp does not like load its seeing. I know the specs of your box. It doesn't sound like they are bottoming out.

Redhaze Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Make sure its the amp thats broke and not the rca switch the working channels RCA over to the broken if that channel still doesnt work then ditch the whole amp. you got sundowns anyway so i wouldnt run a POS on them honestly Quote Just another lurker
ric006 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 watch out with cheap amps i remeber people buying jensen back in the days, they used to burn up your voice coil Quote
