drewbob24 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 ok so here is my deal i got 2 audiopipe txxbd 12's brand new had them for 2 days there rms is 750/1500 each i have a audio oipe ap1500d speakers wired at 1ohm i have all the bass boost things like that turned all the way down and the gain turned half up to break them in they where jsut palying along and they cut out... i didn't smell coil or any burned up wires. i took each speak by its self and hooked it up to the amp alone and both don't work the amp is on and everything but the subs dont turn on did both subs short at the same time or is the amp short? i don't know what to do or how to tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan929 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Try hooking up another speaker to the amp, or try hooking the speakers up to another amp or a home stereo or radio or something just to see if they work, also I'm sure you already checked the rca cable and speaker wire.

Crandis16 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 check the impedence of your subs. if they are in series and you have one blown coil then you have an open circuit Quote My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crandis16 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 fuck it just buying all new shit haha new subs or new amp?a lot of times problems like these are cause simply by wrong wiring or a bad coil. also get those gains set properly, you may think "halfway is fine" (that's what I though) but depending on your sub preout voltage you may be giving the subs a clipped signal Quote My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 You said you're wired at 1 ohm, what are your coil configurations on the subs? You seem kinda new to audio perhaps, so more information on your setup would help very much. Saying your gain is set "half way up" isn't a good way to measure if it's set up properly. Those amps aren't know for their quality so it MAY have something wrong with it. Id say check(or get them checked by someone that can) your sub coils with a Digital Multi Meter, and see if they read the proper resistance. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
