trpkkd Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 I bought a used pioneer amp at a swap meet was told that it worked but had no way of testing so I took the guys word for it. I hooked it up in place of my other amp that I had no problems with and every time I turn it up to about 3/4 volume the amp cuts out and then comes back on when I turn it down does anyone know what could be causing this?
trpkkd Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Posted September 8, 2012 I don't a dd1 or anything I just turned it to just under half and left it. I have the same amp just an older model did the same thing and never had a problem. I know that's not the proper way but I live in northern michigan and there aren't to many bassheads up here so no access to a dd1 but I do plan on purchasing a one soon.
Jessica Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 Can we get a model number of the amp and what ohm load it is seeing? Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside. My super random youtube channel and terrible camera work.

trpkkd Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Posted September 8, 2012 It was hooked up to a memphis power reference 12 4ohm svc. The model # is gm 5100t if I remember correctly it has a normal setting on the gain that's just under half and that's where I set it to.
trpkkd Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Posted September 8, 2012 bridged. How do you set it with dmm?
trpkkd Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Posted September 8, 2012 Ok cool I will try that tomorrow but I still don't think that's why it's cutting out. I was wondering if it could be something internal that could be fixed or if I should just junk it?
