reinke Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 i have a alpine 9883. all of a sudden today while i was driving home it shut off then came on about 1 second later. it happend 6-7 times in a row. i thought it was getting hot from my heater so i felt behind the flace plate. it was the hottest i have ever felt a HU. i shut my heater off for about 10 minutes, the radio and the heater. i turned the radio back on and about 5 minutes happened it turned off again. if a HU gets hot would it turn off like a amp does? ----reference's---- meade916 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsuv Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Yes it can. let the deck cool all the way down and check it's operation. You might need to add a fan as it is common for these decks to run hot. 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...
tacomabanga1986 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 the alpine i had got hot as hell all the time for some reason and had a built in fan, it was a 9823 older model but still worked but i sold it cause i was afraid it might get so hot it could melt somethin on the board and short something out, i have never had a headunit get as hot as that one did but all in all dunno why they would do that here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Are you running any speakers off the deck? My old one got hot as hell when I put it at a 2 ohm load for a while... 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Performer Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Yeah man, first thing I would do is check ALL the speaker and wiring connections. What's strange though is that model should tell you that it's going into overload protection if that were the case, however the heater thing is weird too. Basically as it is, you shouldn't need to add a fan to this H/U, Alpine usually does good with their H/U's as long as you're making the deck work how it should. Check your ohm loads from all your speakers, the wiring and any shorts or such anywhere firstly. CERTIFIED BITCHES!!! Not being new at something doesn't mean anything. Just because a prostitute isn't new at what she does, doesn't change the fact that she still 'sucks' Click to see my build! Proud DC owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 If your running no speakers off of the headunit, go into the settins and turn off "power IC". Its the onboard amp, if you turn it off those couple fets inside wont be helping with the heat thats being generated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
