noser7 Posted April 27, 2012 Author Report Posted April 27, 2012 Im in los angeles I havnt done the big 3 yet The gain is about a lil bit b4 half
djphilly Posted April 27, 2012 Report Posted April 27, 2012 sounds like voltage drop what is your electrical like 2500 is way over most stock alternators a good amp does a descent bandage but big 3 will work wonders for the time being also a bigger alternator will help also what the volume at --/max that amp has a mosfet power supply. If your voltage drop to low then the amp will heat up trying to create that wattage on low voltage and amperage. Basically it working harder to create power. gotta get your power right. big 3 is a start. alternator, battery, etc. 2000 FORD EXPEDITION EDDIE BAUER current system (1) Pioneer DEH P8300UB (2) Massive audio nx4 mids and highs amps (2) Soundstream sst-654N (2) Soundstream sm-654N (4) Soundstream sme-574P (4) Massive audio ct1-a aluminum dome tweeters (4) soundstream sst-05 bullet tweeters (2) Soundstream x3.182 subs (1) Cactus Sounds k5 XS power batts Mechman alt
noser7 Posted April 27, 2012 Author Report Posted April 27, 2012 Ohhhhh alright makes sense. Thanks alot for the help guys!
noser7 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Posted June 14, 2012 Old thread but my amp keeps doing the same thung even at low levels. 15/62. Cant figure it out
SQMonte Posted June 14, 2012 Report Posted June 14, 2012 From what I know those are only 2ohm steadyNegative. I've got one and it's indeed 1 ohm stable.OP: So when you say it cuts out, is it going into protect mode, is the amp still powered up when this happens or does it lose all power?

noser7 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Posted August 11, 2012 my amp is grounded to the rear seat. i sanded it all down. from wat i read these trucks have a very solid frame
252chevyboyz Posted August 11, 2012 Report Posted August 11, 2012 Hey man I have been running a rub2500.1 for about a little over a month but the amp has a input voltage switch and you got ".1-2v" and "2-8v" what position is that switch in? I have mine running right about 1.7v and it runs a little warm and my volume is 35/50. If your running a really low input voltage like .8-1v you could be having heat troubles at low volumes from that. -James *edit* My amp also is grounded to the rear seat bolt. It's on the seat frame that is closest to the drivers side rear door. I will be upgrading it to a frame ground in the next few days and I can update you on how that helps the heat when I do it. It's been raining and I haven't wanted to lay on the wet ground to do it but when it dries out I'll have it done - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log

252chevyboyz Posted August 12, 2012 Report Posted August 12, 2012 Where my finger is pointed to is the Input sensitivity switch and has 2 options ".1-2v" & "2v-8v". I have noticed the lower you run the input voltage the warmer the amp becomes.
