LoudBlazer Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 haha well i guess if one of the reps reads this and sees that it cant do .5 at 14volts (might can do it higher) then we might get a response from them. I figured they had the ability to go into protect before failure lol. Maybe they can tell me why it didnt work out that way lol Quote 1997 2 Door Blazer Bagged & Body Dropped SBC/TH350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicenterDesigns Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Crunch specs:: GP2500D 2500W 1-Channel D-Class Mono Amplifier 625W x 1-Ch @ 4-Ohms or 1250W x 1-Ch @ 2-Ohms or 2500W x 1-Ch @ 1-Ohm Dynamic Music Watts I think you might get 1800 w @ 1 ohm with those rating. Dynamic = Peak = w/Lightning strike. I think that you putting it in .5ohm, you heated it up faster than the Protect could save and it melted something internal. Could be wrong and it could fire right up. Quote Building The Best.....Repairing The Rest The bitter after-taste of a poor quality job will last far longer than the sweetness of that cheap price!

EpicenterDesigns Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Your electrical system being able to supply the current has nothing to do with the amps ability to be wired at .5ohm. You have brougt that up several times. Your amp didn't die because it lacked current. It died cause it is a Crunch amp that was wired BELOW what it could do. You could get better power and performance if you bought a true rated amp, say a Sundown 1500, for close to what you paid for that paper weight and it will do .5ohm, (off warranty).

Boon Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I would say you've killed the output section... Ever seen that video of the all those USAMPS amps popping? They burp it at 0.35 ohms and it goes ok... they're like hmm, seemed ok... about 10 seconds go by then POP POP POP... Protection won't always save an amp. It takes a while to trigger, by then you might have already run stupidly over-spec current through your parts and fatally damaged them - it might be a second later, it might be a day later, but they'll die.
