wfeld Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 :mad: I was on the highway one day and my sub suddenly shut off, i put new wires from sub -> amp today (thicker) and my amp doesnt turn on... could i have blown my amp? Memphis mc 1000d running 1 re sx 15" is that possible? gain was only about half way... could the hot day have killed my amp?

Bass4Lyfe Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 1st check alllllll your wiring and connectinos to your amp, fusing, shorts, crimps in the wire, etc ..... then use a DMM and check your power and remote wires to make sure its good thennnnnnn theres a chance your amp went bad my .02 Quote ~Matthew 1998 Toyota Camry XLE V6 3L (1) ScyTek Astra 4000RS-2W-1 2-Way Remote Start Alarm with Shock and Proximity (1) 20% Tint All Around (Gately Audio) (1) 250 Amperage HO Alternator (1) Big 3 Done In 1/0 (2) Kinetik HC2400 Power Cell (1) Alpine IVA-D106 Receiver (1) Peripheral Video Bypass Device (4) Alpine SPS-17C2 Speakers (1) Alpine KCE-422i iPod Control Interface (4) Sheets Dynamat Extreme; for speakers (1) 10 Square Feet Hushmat (Trunk & Rear Deck) (4) DC Audio Level 4 15" D2 Subwoofer w/ Level 5 Coils (1) Wall Built By David, Tuned to 32 Hz (1) Rockford Fosgate T40001bd Amplifier (1) Stinger 1/0 Wiring (2 runs of + 2 runs of -) (1) Stinger Volt Meter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 having the gain half way doesnt help us determine if you ran it too hard or not. did you tune your amp correctly with a DMM or Oscilloscope? check for blown fuses anywhere in your electrical system for your audio.

wfeld Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 no i didnt use a multi meter, should have... but ive been running that sub the same for quite awhile, just kinda random..

Guest Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) well having the gain "half way up" is really risky because some amps put out more current at half gain than other amps. put a DMM, set it to AC volts, and attach the little needles to the speaker outputs. turn the gain up/down until you reached the desired voltage to send out. edit: use this picture to help you.

Guest Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 check all speaker wire runs and RCA runs. make sure theres no shorts or disconnections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aseanj52 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Is the amp turning on, but just going into protect mode. You could have just blown the sub. Check the RCA's. Make sure your getting signal. Could be your radio causing all this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfeld Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I checked the RCA's but the signal didnt work either way.. should i get new ones? Quote 15" re sx 4.1 cub at 33hz box by coolwazabi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aseanj52 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I checked the RCA's but the signal didnt work either way.. should i get new ones? By either way do you mean either channel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
