iKidwell Posted February 9, 2013 Report Posted February 9, 2013 Ok so last night I got my lvl 3 10's from gary2k7, good guy, and I hooked them up to my vvme 1500 (apsm1500). I had them wired at .5 at first, they played perfect for 20 mins, then amp went into protect. I figured it was due to running at .5. So I rewired to 2 ohm. Now the amp is cutting out as soon as I hit 18 or so on my kenwood deck (35 max). Subs play fine at low volume, then something happens, I'll let the video tell the story http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd21/gocharrgers1/6BD2FFB9-9C03-48F6-9441-69F099D19CBA-8182-000005D955833B73_zpsa9d5bee4.mp4 If its the amp I can still return it for money back. http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd21/gocharrgers1/6BD2FFB9-9C03-48F6-9441-69F099D19CBA-8182-000005D955833B73_zpsa9d5bee4.mp4 I don't want to hear anything about running a cheap amp at .5 or why I shouldn't have bought the amp or anything like that. It was cheap, if it broke ill get my money back and buy a good amp. I just don't know what else could be wrong other than the amp, but one of y'all might c'mon now, if i was shooting an 8 year old, it wouldnt be MY 8 year old. i recently got a Pyle PL1590BL and i was building an enclosure for it tuned to 25 hz. i didn't have any tools to cut a circle so i hit it with a big hammer. 2003 Infiniti G35 Sport Sedan Build in Progress

iKidwell Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Posted February 10, 2013 Well nobody responded but I found out I just need to solder new leads on How does the amp like .5 I have one I'm curious it never got hot, which is what was weird when it was flashing in and out of protect. nothing is wrong with the amp kranny, i hooked it up to my buddy's subs to test it, still works fine. my lvl 3's had some rigged direct leads on there that weren't even soldered, so it was shorting and putting the amp into protect. and cortez, once i get these subs fixed i'm going to go back to running .5 so i'll update you in a week or so on how it holds up and what not c'mon now, if i was shooting an 8 year old, it wouldnt be MY 8 year old. i recently got a Pyle PL1590BL and i was building an enclosure for it tuned to 25 hz. i didn't have any tools to cut a circle so i hit it with a big hammer. 2003 Infiniti G35 Sport Sedan Build in Progress
CortezDTV Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 I've had that happen with push terminals a little soder normally fixes them up right! I'm surprised it happened with direct leads!
