Blake Farrar Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 okay so i have a kicker zx550.2 wire to 2 component sets a sundown sa 6.5 and a crsendo cz 6.5 and randomly my mids and highs will go out for about 3 secs than turn back on, but the sub amp plays just fine ive redone my rca's grounds, power and remote and all are fine. but when my mids n highs turn off the green light will still be on but last night i really looked at it when it happened and i did see the red light flash for a sec. so i have come to the conclusion that my amp is taking a shit. so if anyone has had this problem or knows what could be happening please let me know.

pioneerforlife Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 The components he has are 4 ohm so he is probably wired to 2 ohms. But if it worked for a while before the problem started and you checked all your wiring, I have to say the amp may going bad. I would check your impedance though because if you are running it at 8 ohms, that could be giving you problems too. Also check the individual impedance of all your components because if one of the components or crossovers somehow got damaged then it could be showing the wrong impedance causing your amp to protect. Im thinking this could be the problem since the amp still plays. Check the impedance of everything and make sure everything is correctly wired, if everything looks good than your amp is probably bad. 2007 Ford Focus SES Hatchback Pioneer HU 4 Digital Designs 9515i's in a B pillar. 2 Soundstream XXX 15K's (running at 16 volts) Soundstream Mids/Highs in custom door panels (getting rebuilt soon) Soundstream TA2.160 and TA2.400 Sky High and KNU wiring 3 Banks of Maxwell caps Winston Lithium (not a fan) Bump4Life 250 Amp Alt. aka USAlternators Soundstream Focus and Avenger Build Log Instagram @p4linnovation YouTube: Team Blowin Loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin0943 Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 like everyone says take every speaker off the amp and check the ohms just to make sure one of them not showing a high or low ohm.if it all checks out their something loose in the amp. 02 dodge ram 1500 reg cab 3rd gen 2 sundown sd-2 d4 soundstream rub1.2500 amp all sky high car audio-fuse,fuse holder,wire,ring lugs and rca flex tech box design by Joe X supension-mcgaughys 2in drop spindal ,western chassis 6in flip kit,buddy custom c-notch 04 5.7l hemi motor swap and made it an slt eletric everthing youtube channel-http://www.youtube.c...43?feature=mhee http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/190882-02-dodge-ram-1500-3rd-gen/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Farrar Posted October 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 each set is weird 2 ohm per channel and i know all the wiring is right cause i just redid it its the amp i just drove 1 hour there and back from the other side of town and the speakers sounded great and didnt turn off once so im guessing the amp is going to keep doing this randomly till it dies.
