akrja_07 Posted November 4, 2012 Author Report Posted November 4, 2012 make sure your woofers are still wired ok. Ive seen a wire come loose from the terminal and short out on the basket and cause it to protect . well, i unplugged the speaker wires completely from the amp before restarting the truck, but to be sure i went out and hit them with the dmm. they are reading 1.4 which i think is good because they are supposed to be at 1, but i heard the the dmm will actually read a little higher because of the leads or something in the dmm itself... i didnt actually pull the out of the box though, should i? 2001 Chevy Silverado Ext. cab - Kenwood KIV-BT901 - 2x 12" DC Audio level 3 m2D1 in 4.2 cuft. @29Hz. - DC Audio 2.0k - Alpine Type-X components - US Amps USA-4300x - XS Power D4700 - Bosch 145a alternator

bassface Posted November 4, 2012 Report Posted November 4, 2012 I would think then if the ground and power are good, the amp has just played its last song.
Guest Posted November 4, 2012 Report Posted November 4, 2012 yeah if the amp is just hooked up with power/ground/remote, and there are no frayed wires anywhere, then i'd x2 on the amp giving out.
akrja_07 Posted November 4, 2012 Author Report Posted November 4, 2012 yeah, i figured but was hoping it was just acting up. is it normal for an amp to do this though when subs are off... just quit? 2001 Chevy Silverado Ext. cab - Kenwood KIV-BT901 - 2x 12" DC Audio level 3 m2D1 in 4.2 cuft. @29Hz. - DC Audio 2.0k - Alpine Type-X components - US Amps USA-4300x - XS Power D4700 - Bosch 145a alternator
akrja_07 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Report Posted November 5, 2012 well, update for you guys! the ground wire ring mounted to the chassis from the amp, it looked like it got a little hot at some point... it was silver where it should have been gold and the exposed wire from the tip of the ring was slightly corroded so i decided to change it out and also upgrade it from 8 to 4 gauge... hoping for the best... the amp turned on!! it must have been the bad ground at the chassis. thanks for all of your help! 2001 Chevy Silverado Ext. cab - Kenwood KIV-BT901 - 2x 12" DC Audio level 3 m2D1 in 4.2 cuft. @29Hz. - DC Audio 2.0k - Alpine Type-X components - US Amps USA-4300x - XS Power D4700 - Bosch 145a alternator
