siucsaluki11 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Well, a few weeks ago the amp would cut out on me occasionally, till i powered it down and started it up, my guess is due to having stock electrical still. Yesterday, on my way up to Road America, it completely died....Swapped the fuse in my dist block, still nothing. Tested the fuse, not blown, nor is the new one thats currently in there. What gives? Did my amp seriously shit out on me in right over a month? Did i kill it from weak electrical? To run any further tests i have to pull my back seat so that i can actually get to the amps, would it be worth checking out or do you guys think its just toasted? I never smelled cooking electronics though, so i didn't think i had burned it up. Any info you guys can share is appreciated considering onlinecarstereo and maxxsonics are closed cuz its sunday. Thankfully, yesterday i didn't care that it happened cuz a guy i had just met let me take his modded 911 turbo around road america (WAS FUCKING SWEET), had that not happened, id probably be flipping a shit still, lol Quote woman..cant live with em...cant shoot em...guess were all fucked You might be a Redneck if you use your leftover gutters for a speaker box port...

Nikitaaa Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Running mine at .7 ohm, gets a little warm but nowhere near hot. I also have the voltage to support it, though. Honestly I think that you burned it up with stock electrical. Do you have a voltage meter? Also, did you do big 3 at least?

siucsaluki11 Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 thats why i figured i didn't blow it, it doesn't smell in my trunk, or in my car. But now i gotta pull the back seat to find out if its even powering on/lighting up....hopefully a wire came loose or some shit (shouldn't have, but shit happens) Somehow, my clarion PXW1251s have toughed it out through 2 cars, 4 different amps so far (got them like 4 years ago), and still sound good, and i only paid 70 a piece for them....amps on the other hand, not the greatest luck lately.

siucsaluki11 Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) Running mine at .7 ohm, gets a little warm but nowhere near hot. I also have the voltage to support it, though. Honestly I think that you burned it up with stock electrical. Do you have a voltage meter? Also, did you do big 3 at least? didn't get around to the big 3 (yet), was going to do that today since i had the day free, seems like ill do it later though. Im running mine at 2 ohms though. Im not putting a ton of strain on my electrical. Sometimes the lights would dim, never too badly though...this is just my luck Edited May 20, 2012 by siucsaluki11 Quote woman..cant live with em...cant shoot em...guess were all fucked You might be a Redneck if you use your leftover gutters for a speaker box port...

Ballen194 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 To me it seems like it could just be a loose wire. Check your connects. Give us updates.
