06' Nissan Alti' Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 So I have this planet audio 5k (I put it on a dyno and it made around 1700's mark @ 1ohm @ 13.8 volts so...) anyway, I recently received a 4 gauge amp kit from nvx and once finished installing the amp kit I wired up the amp itself, as soon as turned the ignition switch one flick to the right. My amp turned on for about literally 1 second and it shut off and I can hear the guts of the amp going into a deep fryer like when you put chicken with flour onto the frying pan so I then immediately shut the car off. I don't know if I'm sending to much power to the amp or... my ground is rock solid sitting on bare metal I already blew a 100a fuse so I ended up putting a 200a fuse so I don't know what the problem is any help??
jk13 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 Can't "send" too much power to an amp. It will take what it needs. Either a short in the speaker wires or a problem inside the amp. If it was right at turn on and before signal was even trying to be amplified it was likely internal. Something may have happened during the dyno run. Sorry to hear man. Static drops are my bag.
06' Nissan Alti' Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Posted January 17, 2015 When I hooked it up in my car my speaker wires and rca's weren't connected so... time to look for another amp then.
BigManAC Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 If the RCA's weren't connected then it wouldn't be a short in the speaker wires bc of no signal input. Sounds like internal issue. Was it an amp you just had laying around? 2001 Saturn L200-Sony MEX-BT4100PFRONT STAGE:- (4) Crescendo PWX 6- Cadence XA250.2SUB STAGE:-Fi Audio BL 15 (Sealed Off)-Crescendo BC2kELECTRICAL:- Singer 240A alt - XS Power D3400- SkyHigh OFC power/speaker wire- Big 3 with SkyHigh 0gaugeBuild Log: Click HereScores: 146.5db @ 29hz Outlaw
06' Nissan Alti' Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Posted January 17, 2015 I actually bought The amp this last November, and it's been in my car ever since but at first it was wired up with 8 gauge wire and worked fine until I rewired it with 4 gauge.
BigManAC Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 You didnt put the power into the ground input and ground into the power input did you?

06' Nissan Alti' Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Posted January 17, 2015 Double checked everything and it's wired correctly so the only conclusion I could come up with is a bad amp
Miguels Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 you wired something wrong.. its okay if you dont want to admit it on here. if it was playing with 8 gauge then it should have played with a 4 gauge my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/
Jessica Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 best bet is to make damn sure everything you did is right before you go and slap another bacon cheeseburger in your car.

Miguels Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 that ground... make sure its bolted on tight. even if you sanded to bare metal chances of you not bolting it right are high.. post a picture of the ground something is wired wrong best believe that my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/
