what's my chances? just curious. .. its pushed!


Recommended Posts

so I have this cheap amp. I really don't care for it. its weak. its a 4ch but bridged it b only puts out 150w per chanel... and stated in the manual DON'T RUN A TWO OHM LOAD BRIDGED!

I've got a 750w at two ohm amp coming so I said screw it lets see what happens. .. I don't care... I was bored. so I pulled my amp... stuck a 120mm fan blowing up into it and made the proper changes to allow such airflow. to keep the damn thing cool.

so I bridged it.... and it would go sporadically in and out of protect... so I figured maybe a bigger main fuse (I had a 30 by the battery so I jumped to 40) I was trying to set gains... I would turn a lil bit and hit protect mode... starting at zero of course. so I figured ok more fuse... threw in a fifty up front and got NOTHING. so went back t othe forty up there and took to the internal fuses in the amp itself. it came with 25a fuses... I bumped them to 30s. and was able to get the gains set right to where they sounded good between 1/4 and 1/3 of the way up on both channels. I let it run for about an hour just so I could monitor everything. .. make sure no fires before I bolted this bastard back down lol. it got hot but I've felt it get just as hot at a lower out put. the fan seems to work perfectly.

so my question is... what are my chances of a fire before the 8th when my new amp gets here?

on a bad ass side note... cruised for a lil bit after my hard work... and got pulled over by local pd... :D he was looking at my shit and said dude good thing you got that amp tied down... with that fan its likely it would fly away otherwise! :D he knows my mom, the cop does.

Growing old is necessary... growing up is an option! Have fun or you might as well fall into a 6 foot deep hole. Its much easier to be smart and act stupid then it is to be stupid and act smart!

well I was out and about pushing her hard. had everything booming and sounding really good. well about 15 minutes in I had an electric hot smell it was pungent. so I'm gonna back her down before I end up with a hot neon! lol... had everything shaking the rear view fell off and it was wonderful... so now I know what to expect when my new amp gets here! I'm excited :D

NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER put bigger fuses in an amp than what came with it. they're blowing for a reason.

LMNO! they never blew... they weren't big enough for me to have enough power to push it out of its comfort zone so I changed out the perfectly good ones... lol I still haven't blown anything I just don't like the crazy hot smell she's having now so ueah the stock ones are going back in and the load is going back to 4 ohm :D no fires for this guys.... I hope :P

I paid 80 bucks for this thing... I HAD to know exactly what she was capable of... so I did it nothing permanent though... :D I was stoked to see all may shit rattling with awesomeness too... in a very progressive person that likes to push things... I overclocked the cpu on my laptop too :D so I like squeezing out all the goodness I can from things... they are just things and my new amp is coming so hey why not.. this amp is beat to shit anyways :D I've dropped it. scraped it up bumped it... lol its not gonna be selling very well I don't think so hey why not :P I'm a perv I know hehehe

I might add that at least I'm running fuses... my cousin was running tin foil... yes foil... needless to say his bucket melted and caught fire fast as shit... :D I come from a family of pushers!
