J R Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I bought a Kicker ZX2500.1 used off of a guy for a setup I'm planning on doing. It has just been sitting and waiting on me to get ahold of everything for my setup. I have two Pioneer shallow mounts that are 400rms each in my truck and I figured I would hook it up to them for fun. So I hooked it up with the gain not even to half and the bass boost not even an 1/8 of the way up. I have the sub in and sub outs being used and getting about 2-3v from a Jensen 9312 h/u. I was listening to the radio while installing a PS2 in my truck as well (yes PS2 lol), and about 20 min later I felt the amp and it was just to the point of almost being too hot to touch. It's sitting under a seat on carpet but for barely having the volume up on the h/u and the gain on the amp, IT WAS HOT. Is the amp messed up or what?

Guest Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 where is the amp grounded? having a 3000w amp under the seats isnt really a smart idea. there is almost no air flow there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J R Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Yeah I figured :/. I'm just trying to confirm that the amp is okay. Any it's grounded on the chassis no more than 18 inches away. Knukonceptz 4 gauge. It wants 0 gauge but for having the gain around 3/8 and volume at 10/40 it just seemed overly hot. ***2001 GMC 2500HD Regular Cab*** -Jensen 9312 Flip-Out -2 12 inch Pioneer Step-up Shallow Mounts -Kicker ZX750.1 for Lows -Pioneer 6.5 coax in the doors -Pioneer 4x6 coax in the pillars -Old School Alpine MRV-F250 for Mids/Highs ***1969 Camaro Z/28*** -500+ cubic inch 950hp BBC + 400-650 shot of Nitrous -Audio coming soon- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman08 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 what ohm load are you puttin on the amp and turn bass boost off Youtube.com/J Hutch22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J R Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 The bass boost was so low it might as well have been off. And the amp is rated for 2 ohm and it was getting a 2 ohm load. ***2001 GMC 2500HD Regular Cab*** -Jensen 9312 Flip-Out -2 12 inch Pioneer Step-up Shallow Mounts -Kicker ZX750.1 for Lows -Pioneer 6.5 coax in the doors -Pioneer 4x6 coax in the pillars -Old School Alpine MRV-F250 for Mids/Highs ***1969 Camaro Z/28*** -500+ cubic inch 950hp BBC + 400-650 shot of Nitrous -Audio coming soon- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
