Mr DeeBeez Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Posted April 16, 2014 and just for a little update, i ordered a voltmeter so i will be able to tell what voltage i am hitting when it goes into protect. that should be able to tell me if its because it isnt getting enough power.

Mr DeeBeez Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Posted April 19, 2014 so i got my voltmeter installed. hooked up to amp power and ground. when the car is on, the voltage rests at 14.5v. when playing heavy bass, it drops down to the low 12's and even into the 11v's. do you think that this is why my amp is going into protect?

rockFord_Expedition Posted April 19, 2014 Report Posted April 19, 2014 It's probably getting really hot right? Could be thermal or voltage. Old School/New School RF Build March 2015 SOTM Winner How to crimp large wire
Mr DeeBeez Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Posted April 19, 2014 not too bad. after about 20 min of listening it get a little warm to the touch. i dont think it would be thermal because once it goes into protect, it will turn back on in like 5 seconds. with thermal, i think it needs time to cool down. its never gotten hot Fi Team 18's (4) Crossfire 16k Crossfire 400.4 & 800.4 Pioneer AVH-X491bhs 140ah cmax CES 320's (2)
