LoudBlazer Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 I have a crunch gp2500. I had it wired at .5 for a few seconds, never had a voltage drop and i turned it down as i got to the stop light and was still on, well i go to turn it back up and no bass. I get home check all the fuses nothing blown. Whats the problem? Quote 1997 2 Door Blazer Bagged & Body Dropped SBC/TH350
ISO Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 Any chance it went into Thermal protect. Did you give it 45 minutes to cool down and try it again?

LoudBlazer Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Posted April 14, 2008 45mins? I dont think it blew, i took of the cover and not a single resistor, trans. and everything else looks good1 There is not a single burn mark no blown fuses. So it takes a bit if it went into thermal protect? Quote 1997 2 Door Blazer Bagged & Body Dropped SBC/TH350
maademperor Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 yeah, it takes it some time to cool off (thermal protect=it got too hot and shut itself off, wont come back on until its temp sensitive components cool off) Quote
ISO Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 Ya i wasn't suggesting that it blew up. From what you wrote the only thing I could think of was the thermal protect kicking in. but if you shut down the amp for awhile then tried to turn it back on and it didn't come back on, I don't know what to tell you.

Boon Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 It was wired at .5 for a few seconds? How does that work, did the wiring mess up or something? It's possible something's cooked. FETs can go bad without looking outwardly burnt or anything. Quote 10.x volts fo' life!
00sdime00 Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 Hey focker..You've had this thing for 3 days and already blew it up? :mad: ..I'll be in Daytona tonight and If you want I'll bring my DMM and O-Scope and we can go from there....Need me to bring anything else?

LoudBlazer Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Posted April 14, 2008 i had it wired at .5 to see what it would do thinking it would go into protect before it blew. I bumped it for a few seconds as i got onto the road so i could have higher rpms and more voltage. It stayed at about 14 then i turned it down as i got to the light. Turned it back up as i was driving thru the light and there was no more bass. I got home checked the wiring and it all looks good. Quote 1997 2 Door Blazer Bagged & Body Dropped SBC/TH350
ISO Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 The .5 ohm thing is whats bothering me with that amp.
