zack_e89 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Just trying to get an idea before it gets here. I hope it was input signal, and not a fried resistor LOL. I'd start to pray to the car audio gods right about now if i were you..... 97 Suburban 8 custom PSI Platform 3 18's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude was running a pair of T25001's with no issue, so I don't know. We'll see what it does in my car, just got new rca's.

OrionStang Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Definetley on the input side...sounds like rca or a preamp grounding issue...that's the buzzing noise...id check amp rcas ...if amp didn't have a good dround it will search for ground and use the rcas as ground... that's why when hooking amp up do rcas last always I really, really hope so. But like I said, Chode was there, and I think he knows what he's doing, as far as ground and all that. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Well, UPS just dropped off the amp, and visually it looks ok. I'm pop off the cover and give it a quick once over. Anything specific I should check for that would cause instant clipping? SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyblack76 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 No idea.... But, if it powers up ok, and doesnt jump straight into protect or thermal.... (remember, im just going off the, as soon as the gain is touched deal) maybe the pot. gain adjustment is a little on the south bro?,.,,,,,, With Nick being there, i doubt anything was on the strange,.. wiring wise... and what could cause a FET or supply to just take a dump?.... Fuck,... what ever it is... i hope its somewhat simple, and cheap my friend....... also, please keep us informed bro.... edit - "as soon as the gain is touched it goes directly into a hard clip" SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 I don't have proper electrical to hook it up. I have a D6500 and a 270 XP. If the voltage drops too low, it defeats the purpose. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
