i like fi Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 raar I ran mmats 2000.1 and 3500.1 with same problem, at mid power output the amps are cutting out for a sec. Unless i turn volume down a bit they'll be cutting out. I thought cd could be skipping so i ran my mp3 player , same thing. I think i might be running at 0.5 ohm! but dmm shows 1 ohm. The intresting thing is that my other btl showed 3.7 ohms on each coil!!!!How could that be? Due to wear and tear it will show wrong ohms???

kingsuv Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Check the Ohm load while it's playing. It will change while the sub is moving. Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missinglink Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Could be pulling to much current for your set up. What else is there in your set up other amps, bateries, and or alternator/s ? Need more info!!!! Sounds like your power or Ohm? Get more info please thanks !!!! MLA Quote missinglinkaudio The United States Marine Corps.
