OrionStang Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 So this amp has problems with its output. Almost like the gain is moving around. Sometimes it puts out power, sometimes nothing, sometimes just a little bit LOL. Note the two silver cables.... And how they are brown on this end. Don't know if thats the cause of the output issue, but still found it interesting. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrionStang Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 you have horrible luck with amps Guess you missed the part where I wrote its not mine. Borrowed for a comp, and its been having the issue for almost a year. Its owner told me to open it up after the show.

BeAlLsTaR13 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 wonder if you unsolder those 2 8g runs and resolder new ones if that'll fix your issue, some people acually upgrade those wires to 1/0 if they have the room and see like a 15-20% output increase in clampped numbers, i had a stetsom 7k2d that was "modded" like this, did like 9.8k clampped after the guy did it Quote Team Sundown Audio**CURRENT** -- 2012 Scion tC Build Click Here **OLD** -- 2002 Pontiac Grand AM Build Click Herecheck them out, slap me a comment2002 Pontiac Grand AM SE 2.2l 4 cylinder ecotec.-------------------------------------------------------------------Head Unit - Alpine CDA-9887Subs - 2x Z 12 v.2s - v.3 + NS Soft partsAmplifier - Sundown Audio SAZ-3500DEnclosure - 3.33 Cubes tuned to 34.66hzFront Stage - JBL P660c 6.5" ComponentsRear Deck - Powerbass 4xl 6.5" Mid-RangeFront Stage Amplifier - Sundown Audio SAX-100.4DWires - Kicker Hyperflex 1/0, KnuKonceptz 1/0, Knu 4 and 8 Gauge, Kicker RCAsElectrical - 275 AMP DC Power H/O Alternator, XS Power S3400, XS Power D2700Videos - http://www.youtube.com/user/BeAILsTaR13------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalilac619 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Alright thanks. Not mine, but i'll check out those connections. yeah mine would have strong output one min then lower output the next then back to strong output which seems to be the case with that one...
