96saturnsl Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 the amp im thinking was defective...i had the gain half way up. ( its a AP-1500 ) and it kept over heating so i changed the ground around and checked everything and it still got scorching hot....so i wouldnt turn the gain up i turned it down to almost nuttin it did the same thing. finally it was playing and cut out...and now does not work. i checked the wires and shit and it still does nuttin...it turns on...but doesnt power the sub. so i need a new one Fuck audiopipe...i dont want something thats gonna blow again. i want a nice amp with a decent price that can handle the BL's demands i guess the audiopipe doesnt do so hot with it lol.

raytard Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 what impedance was it at? some amps that dont have low impedance protection just get hot if theyre hooked up to too low of an impedance. If they dont have thermal protection, they just fry themselves.
