Twigz Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) I have a MMATS DHC 1400.2 Modded with a capacitor. I'm running it off of 2 Punch P3's now the thing that confuses me is I was running the same set up in 1992 Chevrolet Cavalier, and on a tinier fuse and it never blew. The amps gain isn't even half way turned up and it freaking slams. I bought the amp off a guy named Tyler Durden and he said the amp was in mint condition and nothing wrong with it. The shop told me the amp could have a bad Power Supply which I highly doubt. So, i'll have pictures of the set up tommorrow, I popped my hood 2007 Chevy Cobalt, and I can't find the fuse for the life of me lol. I'm gonna go to the shop tommorrow and probally get a new Fuse put in and just keep the volume half way up. I also have another amp, same exact thing modded with a capacitor, I might hook that one up and see if it pops the fuse. I don't have the big 3 done, and I don't have back up batteries yet, and I dont know my voltage. this sucks =( Edited March 7, 2008 by Twigz Quote Fear The Quack!

Twigz Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 sounds like a pickle. I've never had any of the fuse blowing stuff your experience in any of the installs I have done gl though. well, I said I needed a 300 Watt Fuse, it's a 3000 rms amp. Im running 2 of those, so I figured 300 watt fuse should be more than enough. Either, my voltage is to low with the volume all the way up, or I don't need such a big fuse like I thought, I'm gonna do a series of test i'm gonna buy a bunch of fuses, and im gonna hook up all 3 amplifers,and run a series of test. The fuse popped with the bass at Neutral, and the volume turned all the way up. I was bumping with the volume half way up or like 90% and it never popped. does any one else have any trouble shooting ideas? Quote Fear The Quack!

RollinSoLow Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) oh and i forgot to mention that if the speaker wire happens to hit the chassis of the amp its a gonner too there a -40vdc coming off the amp Edited March 7, 2008 by RollinSoLow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twigz Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 whats your voltage when the car is off? I have no idea, I don't have a ohm reader, and I don't have a voltage reader. my buddie TEAMBASSINURFACE doesn't talk to me anymore. I can't rely on him for help. he's going thru hard times or w.e and I guess he needs to stick with family instead of bass. Quote Fear The Quack!
