trent420 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 I should have probably posted this in "amplifiers" to start with. I have a mmats 3000.1 on 2 Rockford p3 12's. I know it's too much power. My could are reading crazy numbers on a multi meter. Will this damage my amp? The speakers were only temporary, but the amp obviously isn't. I don't want to burn it up...

SnowDrifter Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 If they short out and the amp's protect circuit doesn't kick on in time, it could damage things. Coils reading crazy doesn't necessarily mean they are bad though. Take the sub in a quiet room free of drafts and measure it ~~~~~~~~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...
Real96SS Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Are you testing the coils with the vehicle on or off? Are the amps connected to the subs during testing?

trent420 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Thanks drifter. I should probably just PM you when I have a question. You haven't steered me wrong so far! They use to read around 1ohm. This was before I put massive power on them. I checked today and it's reading 137, 149, 83... they smell a little funny too. Still sounds great though.

trent420 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Vehicle off. Subs hooked up to amp. I've always checked them this way though. They always read around 1 ohm until I checked them today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
