Kyblack76 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Cool. This may not work for you. Im just saying it did for me. I had zero bank, and when i added a 3100 in the trunk, it cured my spike. You already have bank, so, you might be hosed, for another reason. Again, there are ways around it, but, i wont be on the hook for your gear. Great luck man.

I'm willing to take the chance of smoking the amp with some sort of modification? But I don't believe the split second burst of higher voltage will damage amp as it seems weird that the other (4) amps don't turn off being the same maker and series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDrifter Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 You will have to figure out how to disable the protect circuit on your own. I don't think anyone here wants to be responsible for your amp. Even if you are fine with killing it, we'd feel terrible if it burned down your car Try contacting an amp repair company or something And I had an idea: Diodes function to reduce the amount of current that will travel backwards across a circuit - like a one way valve for electricity. But they also have another side effect that can work in your favor: they will create voltage drop going forward too. I'm not sure how well it would work, but you could probably either get a bunch of smaller ones and create a distribution block of sorts, or get 1 or 2 larger ones to accomplish the same effect - you might be able to drop the voltage going to your amp enough that the amp doesn't see a voltage spike above what it's parts can't handle. ~~~~~~~~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...
RooTxBeeR Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Would a cap before the amps help in this situation?

pontformulalt1 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Would a cap before the amps help in this situation? i'm not to sure about a cap, maybe im wrong. (5) amps totaling around 5,500r.m.s. pulling around a 600 amp draw at full tilt i'm not sure what kind of cap would be able to hold any reserve or any constant voltage.

pontformulalt1 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 i am really at a loss as i have spoken to mechman about my situation and voltage spike is something i have to deal with being that i am running a big 320a unit with an avbm i really would like some help.. from what i understand it is as simple as cutting a resistor somewhere in the circuit of the amp to prevent the over-voltage shut off....from what i have been told from someone that is sponsered by kicker that it is that easy. please someone chime in tha knows kicker amps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think a fairly large cap might help. My gut feeling is that it will absorb enough power in that split second to cut down that voltage spike enough. I say get one - a good one and see.

pontformulalt1 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 i have a very robust and stout wireing system to my alt. and front to back batteries.. what i mean is the voltage spike that the alt. is throwing out is not filtered to much by resistance.. check out my garage photos of my wireing and please tell me what you think to support my idea.

KiKaZz74 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Couldn't you just cap the one amp the protects since none of the others are affected? Just my thought. I have no experience in this area tho. So I could be wrong.
