evermaxx Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Friends amp pops into protect, sony xplode 700watt with 1 12" Audiobaun SE Funny thing is, he can play it with car on ACC and it bangs, but as soon as we go for a drive turn it up over 31/40 i goes into protect. with car off, he can go fully. Thoughts? Yes I know check grounds and everything, and I know its bad to play with car off, it was just to test it for ~45 seconds.

Ba55h3ad651 Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Maybe to much power going to it too quick:/ try setting the gain down see what happens see if you can turn it up louder Edited April 6, 2012 by Ba55h3ad651 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Maybe to much power going to it too quick:/ try setting the gain down see what happens see if you can turn it up louder that wouldn't make sense. the amp will pull as much power as it needs. the alt cant give it like 150a of power when it only draws 60, for example.

Ba55h3ad651 Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Just throwing something out there but maybe wiring idk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBleedMusick Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 My guess would be voltage too low with the car on which is why it's going into protect.

SnowDrifter Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Are you clipping? What's the ohm load on the amp? What sort of voltage are you getting at the amp when it goes into protect?

Sheena Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Are you clipping? What's the ohm load on the amp? What sort of voltage are you getting at the amp when it goes into protect? this. also check your grounds, and check them again.. what size wire is the power and ground wire? where are you grounded, where is the amps location in the vehicle. how hot is it in the car? is there any airflow to the amp when your driving?

evermaxx Posted April 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Are you clipping? Amp was set by ear, he doesn't have tools to do it, but its not set crazy I know. What's the ohm load on the amp? Not sure, 1ohm I believe? What sort of voltage are you getting at the amp when it goes into protect? On dash it's still steady. Before this set up he had a 1500 audiopipe and you could see the volt gague on dash move, so if the voltage was going down we could see it. Are you clipping? What's the ohm load on the amp? What sort of voltage are you getting at the amp when it goes into protect? this. also check your grounds, and check them again.. what size wire is the power and ground wire? where are you grounded, where is the amps location in the vehicle. how hot is it in the car? Not sure, we've tried windows down, and A/C is there any airflow to the amp when your driving? Its behind the seat in an SUV.. amp is hot to touch after some time.
