Guest Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) bad ground, upgrade your power and ground to 4 gauge if it isnt already. and where is your ground located at and the gain and/or bass boost might be up too high Edited May 5, 2008 by Krannyman92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browne Posted May 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 I have to runs of 0guage positive and negative. ground comes straight from the Battery and the gain is on half and i use the amp for Mids not bass Quote System specs Beyma Pro 8MI (2) Rockford P550.2 Rockford T20001BD MTX 9512 (2) HO Alt 200amp BIG 3 Pioneer AVH-P4900DVD Clarion EQS746 AudioControl EPIC160 Kinetik HC2400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrwigglezdj Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 check the speakers that are on the amp, one bad coil could mess it up, and like others said, double check the grounds, power and remote at the amp as well as verify the power at the amp (make sure its 12+volts) with a multi meeter to trouble shoot you have to check off each thing even if you *know* its rite,... the littlest thing can mess it up Quote Americas loudest work van2006 iasca heavyweight bassboxing champion at 150.4 db with 60second average TL8 memphis PR15s,12 memphis PR6.5's coax,4 memphis PR 1inch tweets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 did you say the ground on your amp is going the battery???? you gotta ground it onto the body/frame of the car. The amp only supports up to 4 gauge power/ground, so make sure its 4 gauge and not 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
