J_west07 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 I've got a FI sp4 D1 and a MB quart da-3000.1. I've got it wired to .5 ohm. I've cleaned and checked all connections, ground power battery replaced the signal wire and the RCA's. The amp doesn't go into protect or anything stays on etx then it will just come back on sometimes after I turn the car off. Sometimes it will play at full tilt for awhile sometimes for only like a min. I'm stumped....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr DeeBeez Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Whats your voltage dropping to when it cuts out? can your electrical handle that amp at half ohm?

J_west07 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Not sure don't have a volt meter but I've ran a ct3k in this car..... Seems like if it was going to low the protect would come on. When it goes off it won't come back on when I turn it down it takes awhile. Sometimes hrs. This amp is rated at 1500rms and its overrated so Im maybe getting 1500rms at .5 ohm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_west07 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 And like right now the power is just off on it. Sometimes it will just stop playing. Weird as hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr DeeBeez Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 is the amp getting hot? Im not sure if i would trust that amp at .5 Fi Team 18's (4) Crossfire 16k Crossfire 400.4 & 800.4 Pioneer AVH-X491bhs 140ah cmax CES 320's (2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_west07 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Yea I understand it's a cheap amp. It's temporary till I can get my other amp. Its gotten warm but not hot. It's weird like it was fully powered off and when I pulled back up to my house it came back on.... It's freaking weird man. Thinking about wiring the sub to 2 ohm and seeing if it does it still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_west07 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Checked it with a multimeter and its getting power at the amp so I guess I just gotta suck it up and run it at 2 ohm :/ sucks...... Gonna be getting like 800 rms to a sp4. Guess it's better than nothing till I get my other amp...... Blah. Dunno what else to do. Figured the amp would go into protect instead of just not working or start smoking or something lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoove Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 I will say the samething as everybody else. That amp isnt designed for .5.

J_west07 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Yeah well I wired it back to 2ohm and its still doing it...... Any thoughts of what could be making it do this? It didn't even cut out at high volume this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotorCityFats13 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 is the protect light coming on or is it just cutting out... if its doing it at 2ohm you probably damaged it using it at .5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
