Amart88 Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Well, I'm calling on you smart people to see if you know what's going on with my amp.. Lets start last year. My old car. I had this problem where the woofers with this amp will barely move and they get warm fast. (the other amp works perfect) when I asked around, people all told me my wiring is wrong or the woofers are bad.... so after changing things and testing for a few weeks it stayed the same and the problem follows it if I swap. SO, sent it to crescendo under warranty last year... Guess what? after 80$ shipping I get it back saying it's 100% working. Hook it up, same problem. So 7 months later, different build, different gear AND and vehicle, it's still not working...FML Nendo! not happy. I have heard of others having this problem also. Any ideas or simple things I could do? My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amart88 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 So the amps still doing same thing? Yep. 2 of my zcons are moving and 2 are doing jack all. Slight vibration to the touch. I like the amps, but I doubt Crescendo would even look at it because its over warranty. EVEN though they said it was working when it abviously is and was not.

SnowDrifter Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Does anyone around you have an oscope so you can see what's happening with the output signal? DC offset perhaps? ~~~~~~~~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...
Amart88 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Does anyone around you have an oscope so you can see what's happening with the output signal? DC offset perhaps? No, and the shop that does don't even know how to use it. I just sent crescendo an email. Man... even If I could get a refurb or used one to replace it I would be happy as a pig in shit.

CJ18 Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Have you tried running them strapped and using the bad one as the slave to see if that works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amart88 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Can you check the output voltage with a dmm Yeah, it's much lower than the working one last time I checked it. Like 4v compared to 30. SOmething like that. My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real96SS Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Does it have a Master/Slave switch? If so have you tried switching it back and forth while its on to see if it starts playing?
