d-nice88 Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 Want to see if I've made a mistake somewhere. Can some one help me out ? My skar 4 ch amp gets hot quick with in a few seconds of playing and goes into protect. I have a kenwood excelon deck with signal going from that to an audio control bass epicenter then from there to a clarion eq then finally to the amps in the back. I have some rigged up stuff going on with the way I have my speakers set up. I have a set of mid bass speakers hooked up to ch. 3 n 4. 1 n 2 I have hooked up to a set of components. Here's where the rigged up part comes into play. I also have a set of super tweeters hooked up in the passive cross over with the other tweets from the component set. On the cross over it has 0db + -3db+ and -6db+ Tw - then for the mid its W+ W- and input + -. I have the tweets hooked up to + -3db and Tw- and then the super tweets hooked up to + 0db and Tw-. That's how the passive cross over is wired up on ch. 1 n 2. Could that be my issue ? Is that making the impedance too low causing it to get hot? I haven't made an amp go into protect in a long time so I'm just trying to find out if that could be my issue or something else. Voltage is good going to the amp. Seeing 14 v when the car is on and 12.8 when the cars off. Any help is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyblack76 Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 Which 4 chan? Is it class A/B ? They run hotter, but, it should be shutting down. Voltage/Ground, But,..the impedance/load,... would be what id be trouble shooting.

d-nice88 Posted February 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 It's the rp 150.4 a/b. It plays but shuts off in literally 45 seconds. Gets hella hot. The audio control epicenter wouldn't be the issue would it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronT Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Your rigging things up is dripping impedances too low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 plus you are changing the crossover points too. I would just disconnect the super tweets until you can install them correctly.

d-nice88 Posted February 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Got it hooked up like normal and still that Same thing. Plays for a few seconds once the volume gets to a certain point not even at the half way mark it cuts off and goes into protect. Idk what could be wrong.

CrackFactory Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 You may have damaged the amplifier already. Check for continuity between speaker wires and chassis ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-nice88 Posted February 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 Might have found the issue. Might have a bad speaker some where. Amp stays on with no speaker wires in it. Going to plug in one by one and see where the fault is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
