emurra7 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Posted January 19, 2015 I am trying to figure out why my amp will go into protect mode on cold starts. After about 10min if I cycle power to the amp it will turn on and work fine. My voltage on cold starts is around 15.0volts and comes down to 14.5 warm. I know these amps are not 16v/18v stable like the bigger amps. There is nothing on dc's site about operating voltage. Just wanna see if anyone else has any experience with this Quote

Just wanna see if anyone else has any experience with this The 2.0k I used to have did the exact same thing, didn't like ~15.0V or above. Explanation I got from DC was that some amps have different tolerances and it's just the way it is. Quote "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now.

Raptorman Posted January 19, 2015 Report Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Yup. Just high voltage protect. Don't be worried about it, although that is annoying.

emurra7 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the help guys. I figured the voltage being too high was the issue. Just sucks that dc set such a low voltage ceiling, Edited January 19, 2015 by emurra7 Quote

WCA Rusty Posted January 21, 2015 Report Posted January 21, 2015 3.5k and up will take up to 18 volts (except the 10.0), the smaller amps we dont really see people running high voltage on them Quote DC AUDIO Phone Number 1(855)SPL-DBZZ Built by Competitors, for Competitors.
