dakier Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 so i think the rca inputs on my amp have fried, i unhooked my amp last week to pull my box out and paint it and when i got back to wiring it back up as soon as it sees power my subwoofers just start thumping. i have a cresendo bc2k and 2 skar vvx12s, i have replaced the rcas twice since this still does it, i have changed the grounds 3 times, idk what else to test, the left rca input look a little messed up on the amp today i noticed. when i looking into it the black piece that separates the ground and the positive on the amp was not there so i pull that face of my amp off and saw that it had somehow been pushed back so i pushed it back into the input where it belongs, didnt help anything, anyone have any tips/suggestions ? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smceachran Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 recently my system abruptly stopped working and i bought a whole new wiring kit to try and fix the problem. What i learned is my wires were fine but the fuse on my power wire was broken even though it wasn't blown. i say check all of your fuses with new ones.

dakier Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 i got everything all fixed. my remot wire was shorting out at one spot in it. then the next day my amp started doing it again, i found that the ground i had was constantly shorting for some reason and had melted and corroded the wire really bad, grabbed another wire re-did my ground do a more secure location and hopefully it doesnt happen again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
412 CVX Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Does the amp have a metal chassis? and is that metal chassis by chance touching other metal? i've heard of people's amps shorting out because they were in contact with metal. Quote Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs. My temp system build log More box buildssome cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches! I'm with captain stupid.

neuspeedescort Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 by thumping is it like a test tone? that would be an rca thing in my book. i had an old audio control 4xs go haywire and just burp like a low hz test tone when ever it wanted. then the next minute it would be ok. ended up being a bad sub output on the mother board. not the actual unit but the plug. the soilder came loose.
