MegaMan93 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have a Audiopipe 18001d and everytime i have my volume up loud it will go in protect mode then come back on within seconds. I have to turn the bass nob down a little for it not to do it, but i bought it to bang, not bang a little bit, you guys understand. But I had a capacitor hooked up and at idle im at 14.4 and when its poundin it drops down in low 10s and hi 9's and the capacitor say "low" where its supposed to read the volts. IDK if this hay anything to do with it, But im just letting you guys know what my setup is doing. The slightest help will be very apperciated. Thanks guys, David Quote We don't have alot of neighbors so we can blast the stereo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEEMDUB Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 10s and 9s are deff not good voltage readings man your basically demanding power from your amp that it isn't supplied to give to you...get rid of the cap and up grading your electrical!

jdw46 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Its protecting because your voltage is to low i think ur amp isnt getting the power it needs Quote 2000 stratus10 SunDown E-10s Singer 250amp Alt Xs Power D975Concept c2400All 0 gauge wire10 6 1/2's in Rear Doors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EclipseChris Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 When the cap says "low" that means it is going below 9v, and chances are the amp will shut off under 9v.

Trigg Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Sounds like it's time to upgrade your electrical.. Going down to that low of voltage isn't good on anything, not just your amp! Quote there is some VERY hard headed people out there. Anyone who says a DD-1 isnt necessary is also saying an O-scope isnt necessary. Anyone who says an O-scope IN THE MINIMUM isnt necessary, is a noob. Forget the DD-1 for a minute, any reputable installer will at LEAST use an O-scope. Those guys in that thread are clowns.

Where should i start? I did the big 3 upgrade. What else should i do? alternator upgrade and maybe an extra battery for that amp? What size wire did you do your Big 3 with and what size alt do you have now? Quote there is some VERY hard headed people out there.

Guest Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 do the big 3 in 0 gauge. get a big agm style battery and put it in the trunk and wire it with 0 gauge to the front battery. dont play full tilt at idle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
