Fredddy Posted April 21, 2012 Report Posted April 21, 2012 Recently purchased a Brutus BRZ 1700.1D.. Have it powering 2 Sundown SA 12" D2's wired at 2ohms. (never had a problem with any other amps wired at 2 ohm.) It was playing fine yesterday at high volume and that amp pushes my subs really hard..Best ive had...ever.. Then today, as i start my car, the amp will turn on, and even with out playing any music, 20 seconds later, it goes into protection mode Ive checked all my wiring.. I have 4 gauge all around. Does this amp require bigger ground and power wire? This is my first "CEA-2006 Compliant" amp :/
Trigg Posted April 21, 2012 Report Posted April 21, 2012 2-gauge power and ground wiring is required for installation. 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. Hard headed clowns.
MrSkippyJ Posted April 21, 2012 Report Posted April 21, 2012 double check your ground, double check and make sure you aren't wired at .5 EDIT: i thought i read 1200...you probably need larger gauge power wires.

Fredddy Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Posted April 22, 2012 yeah i upgraded the entire system with 0 gauge wiring and it still does it, here and there.. I'll have to restart my car so my amp can stay on, and running...
MrSkippyJ Posted April 22, 2012 Report Posted April 22, 2012 going on the assumption that the amp isn't faulty, which it may very well be, first place i would check is your ground.

Agreed, most problems like that have to do with your ground, my amp does that sometimes cause my ground is shit....hopefully is just isn't a bigger problem.
