It's not being powered correctly. And it's being severely underpowered. Need to get a power supply for it.

Hey SMD forums.

I've bought a 15" 1500w subwoofer, and a 1200w 4ch amp.

On the power side I've got GND, REM and B+.

I hooked up minus to GND, and REM&B+ to plus (connected together).

I get a good sound from my subwoofer, which is connected to channel 3 & 4 bridged, but whenever I turn up the volume, I get a crackle sound. Like the amp can't handle the subwoofer. I got that busted by hooking up the amp to a smaller 400w subwoofer, and it had the same problem.

On the amp I've got these settings:

Gain about 60%.

L.P.F about 90 Hz

H.P.F about 80 Hz

Crossover on L.P.F

0dB treble

Super Bass 0dB

Could it be a wire problem?

When I try to set plus to just B+ (leaving REM empty) it doesn't power on, and when I try to set plus to REM (leaving B+ empty) it doesn't power on. It only powers on when I put REM and B+ on plus, and GND on minus...

Can anyone help me out?

Please don't flame me, this is my first post, and I thought this would be a good place to ask :)

Thanks in advance,

Morten

Lol my bumdass is a dumbass.

irrelevant, the switch is on LPF, i doubt the HPF is even doing anything right now.

Oh shit, I didn't catch that.

Must be quite musical LOL.
