Carbon Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I feel your pain OP. I was heartbroken when I found out my beloved Hifonics amp was worth less than a cheap prostitute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 hows your electrical. you need at least a high output alt and secondary group 31 battery to make that amp happy. (the colossus as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDrifter Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Ok.. That's an important piece of the puzzle. Do you know what your voltage was when this happened? What ohm load were you wired to? How did you set your gains? And finally: did the amp have adequate cooling? ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Oh: and where/how was the amp mounted? Vibrations could cause a failure too ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
