kingsuv Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Whenever I bridge my 1000/2 amp it puts itself into protect mode how can I fix this Stop bridging your amp. Problem fixed Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out. not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. 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...
FiBTLforlife Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Stop bridging your amp. Problem fixed yep my friend did the same thing but didnt listen to me.....stop brid and check what ohm load is stable for your amp at bridgeing...it is very possible that you are doing this at an unstable ohm load so stop bc u overheat it Quote 2 AQ 10'' HDC3 copper subs 1 3500d AQ amp 146.3db on TL with stock electrical in single cab truck at 32hz RESULT: 1st place at comp, 3rd overall out of 20 cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Train Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Well my amp is 2 Ohm bridged I think but i'm not sure what my speakers are I know they are all single voice coils but how would i check them to see what ohm the speakers are Quote 1997 4 Runner Alpine CDA-9886 4 Fi Audio X Series 12's 1 Crunch GP3000D Pro DC Power Inc.

finkster Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 pull the speaker out of the box and look on it...it should say on the back of the speaker somewhere... Also...most amps are not stable @ 2 ohms bridged...Yours may not be make sure to check the specs on the manufacture's site...

E-Train Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 well i have pulled all 4 of my speakers out of the boxes before and none of them have anything on them, no model number no information nothing Quote 1997 4 Runner Alpine CDA-9886 4 Fi Audio X Series 12's 1 Crunch GP3000D Pro DC Power Inc.

finkster Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Well if you are running four speakers bridged on that amp you are certain to go into protect... You could get a DMM and check what impedance they are with a digital multimeter..thats about all u can do if you can get no info on the speakers...

E-Train Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Well i'm actually running 2 amps 1 for each pair of speakers, but right now ive just got each speaker run on its own channel so I guess i'll just leave well enough alone for now until I get my new DC lvl 4's Quote 1997 4 Runner Alpine CDA-9886 4 Fi Audio X Series 12's 1 Crunch GP3000D Pro DC Power Inc.

Boon Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Your amp is not 2 ohm stable when bridged. It's a 2-channel class a/b... and not some godly swedish one... if it doesn't protect it'll get really really hot and then pop half the transistors inside. Quote 10.x volts fo' life!
