Mosin Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 I have a 1000w Sony 2-channel amp pushing a 15" Kicker Solo Baric L7 the load onb the amp is 2-ohms... the amp starts to emit smoke after extending periods when the music ois turned up. is this a danger to the woofer? the amp is bolted to the rear of the ported box that the sub is in... any help appreciated... Derp.
Applejack Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 how many ohm's are you running the amp at? electrical set up maybe? Midwest Car Audio is on facebook! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Midwest-Car-Audio-Association/101253286585630
Noobtastic14 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 just to be perfectly clear- your solobaric has dual 4ohm coils?? if its dual 2 then its 1ohm net to the amp and thats why its burning. if your 100% sure and looked at the woofer and know its dual 4 then sometime you just have to check your grounds and conclude its a crappy amp. (grounds grounds grounds check it over and over and over) -Drew I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

Guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 sony amps overheat ALOT, and isnt putting your amp on the box really bad because of the box vibrations?
Mr. Darkjustice Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 my 2 cent would be because hes usin a sony amp lol Fusion With A Stetsom 4k2d on 2 DC XL 15s tuned to 31hz and Subs and ports forward The Revolution Was Not Televised But There Is This Thread(clicky) Dr Merkenstein is my 360 gamertag and my profession.

Mosin Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Posted April 7, 2008 Okay sorry for the bad info... its a 15" Kicker Solo Baric L7 the woofer has Dual 4-Ohm Voice Coils i have it wired to 2-Ohms the amp is 2-Ohm stable and is it a bad idea to bolt an amp to a box? well the woofer dont smell burnt and now its running backwards in a sealed box as in woofer facing inwards anyways and its bolted directly to the frame of my vehicle as in a 1990 Honda Accord... is it just the amp probably?? Derp.
Guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 yea i would get another amp, sony is terrible in my opinion amp-wise. the subs are.....ok.
Torres Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 sony amps overheat ALOT, and isnt putting your amp on the box really bad because of the box vibrations? in smaller applications, the box doesnt vibrate a shit-ton to hurt, but vibrations are always bad. how are your gains and such set? they might be too high and might be pushing the amp too hard. that's why it only happens at high volumes. which if that's the case...it's probably sending a bad signal to your speaker, which can eventually blow the speaker. and i'm not sure which amp he has...or 100% this is true...but i heard sony amps are CEA 2006 compliant now. given...that just means they'll push what they're rated at, now perform well in other categories. i just thought i'd throw that out there
