Nikitaaa Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Okay, we'll I tried mounting my amps in the spare wheel well and it was good except 2 of my channels in my mb.quart 125.4 are now not functioning.. (set gains with I-scope) I think it's because the amp was getting vibrated to much under there. I took both of my amps out and put one behind the seats and one in front of the box. I know the air will help with cooling, but it still moves a bit when the loooow lows hit. Is this a problem?

TheNewbie Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Could you just mount them onto the box, or somewhat by the port to help the cooling, then just mount the box to your car? Not sure if it's a good idea... just thought i'd give a suggestion. d Quote Check out my build log: http://www.stevemead...60#entry1958353 Different folks have different strokes.

Nikitaaa Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Also, I'm afraid to try to return the amp the 2 channels aren't working on because I bought it from onlinecarstereo.com and they have a history of taking the amps you ship to them for repair or return. So now I'm stuck with a broken 4-channel because I doubt they will honor their warrenty( this amp is a month old and Im not sure if vibrations are what caused it to prematurely fail) Quote 2007 M/T Honda Civic Coupe EX (4) Sundown Audio X-8's (2) Ampere Audio 3800.1's (3) Stinger SPV-44 Batteries (1) Mechman 240 3:1 Ratio 4th order sealed from the trunkTEAM NWSPLBest termlab scores to date in Honda trunk:151.7db legal (official) IASCA trunk 3 classBest termlab scores to date in my walled Subie:152.9db legal (unofficial) IASCA advanced 2 class155db outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNewbie Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 You could have blown the outputs on those two channels if any of those wires - and + touched together on those channels.

Nikitaaa Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Your box is vibrating? Not like, flexing.. But it vibrates enough to where I can feel it. Unfortunately I didn't do any top to bottom bracing. Hopefully the amp is a cheap fix. Something probably just got unsoldiered, right?

I'd send it back see what they say.. what's the worst they'll do.. say oh it's your fault? And well your box shouldn't be doing any of that.. mount it into your car.

I've read thing about them not sending back items after you shipped them and also that instead of replacing the iteam, take it in for "repair", and people never see them again. What do you mean by this. My box is attached to my car with metal brackets if that's what you're saying Quote 2007 M/T Honda Civic Coupe EX (4) Sundown Audio X-8's (2) Ampere Audio 3800.1's (3) Stinger SPV-44 Batteries (1) Mechman 240 3:1 Ratio 4th order sealed from the trunkTEAM NWSPLBest termlab scores to date in Honda trunk:151.7db legal (official) IASCA trunk 3 classBest termlab scores to date in my walled Subie:152.9db legal (unofficial) IASCA advanced 2 class155db outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And That's what i ment.. not sure why your box would vibrate so much then.. it's not Flexing the box?
