asilayinruins Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 My crescendo 12k keeps going into protect. I could be playing it for about 20 minutes, then my amp goes into protect. After a couple minutes, the amp turns back on and plays for another few minutes before going back into protect. It goes back and forth, on and protect. My voltage is good, I never drop below high 13's. My amp does seem like it's getting kind of hot though. I began feel it getting pretty warm, and I can kind of smell a little bit of something, like something's getting hot. Not sure if this is a heat issue, because I rrun my system without a wall, and I always have my A.C. blasting throughout the car. Never had this issue with the same setup in my other car.

Wishuponasub Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Did you recently switch it to this car? Check your sub wiring and see if you accidently wired too low.... Edit: Well I guess you would see that in your voltage also. What are you using to see voltage and give us a little info on your electrical setup.

06RTCharger Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 If all equipment and hardware are exactly the same, then maybe its ur new grounds? Not as well grounded as your old car. Maybe from transfering equipment between vehicles caused some slight damage to power wire terminals, degrading the connection and causing more resistance and causing over heating issues. Just some ideas. if ur watching voltage using one of the typical Stinger style meters, you could easily be dropping way below u think u are for short periods of time and not even see it on that meter. Maybe a quick drop once or twice wont do much, but after 20 mins of dropping low every few mins, might cause protection. Steve has a video he did recently, showing the differences in accuracy and responsiveness of meters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalledSonic Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 21 minutes ago, ShadeTreeMechanic said: Clipping. I wonder if OP can hear a buzzy sound when he's playing it. Hey OP, disconnect the subs from your amp and play it like normal. Does it ever make a buzzy sound? Also, your bass knob should have a clipping indicator. Does it ever blink red?
