LMS15 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 ok well i built my box yesterday and it turned out great and the subs work and what not but now i changed the wiring and wired the pair to.5 ohm and its correct for sure, i checked it over and over and used a DMM checking the Ohm load i run a vfl 200.1 and i have a green power light everything seems good but no output, i unhooked the RCA's from the amp and checked them and they are dead.. nothing going through em, they are new RCA's by the way my other identical pair off a different output on the CD player to my highs amp is fine.... did i fry the CD player RCA outputs or something to the amplifier for my subs? thanks if you can give me some idea's of what to do or try 1 15" LMS Ultra<-Sold 2 12" Audiopulse Axis Quad Coils 2 18" RD Audio Alpha V2's<--For Sale or Trade American Bass VFL 700.1 (alot of power at any ohm) American Bass VFL 200.1 (3.8k rms @ .5 ohm) 2.1 cubes each at 32 Hz 125 sq ft RAAMaudio BXT, 5 Yards Ensolite 50ft 1/0 Knu Flex wire 4 Infinity 6.5" Temp 170x2@2 ohm Sony amp 200 Amp EA Alt 3 Exide Orbital's Youtube Vids....http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=gavinriley&view=videos

Run another pair real quick or just use a different set to check for output at low volume to rule that out. Or better yet, just switch RCA orientation behind the HU to test the preouts with a different set. One of those tests will find your problem unless it's something silly like the Subwoofers being "OFF" in the settings. Need an install? Hit me up.[email protected]Got car audio questions?

Neo_frog Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 i checked all 3 of my pre outs including the working one with the subwoofer rca's and it wont work so hmmmand the sub is on lol i checked that Huh? So you used the 'culprit' RCA on all the preouts and no output? Then most likely you need a new one. Try a different RCA from SW preout to amp and see if it comes on. If not, then your inputs are bad on the amp. NOTE: A while back I hooked everything up and went to test it and the same thing happened. I tested all RCAs and nothing was working. I came to the comclusion that my SW preout was bad.. After being really pissed off, I got even more pissed to find out that all I forgot to do was turn up my bass knob. So make sure of stuff like that too. Need an install? Hit me up.[email protected]Got car audio questions?

Boon Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 How did you check the RCAs? Could be something with the amp. They don't always play nice at 0.5 ohms... 10.x volts fo' life!
bangin_explorer Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 How did you check the RCAs?Could be something with the amp. They don't always play nice at 0.5 ohms... haha, it Always plays nice @ .5ohm Matt..... Take the master/slave switch and click it to slave then back to master.. my 150.1 got stuck in the middle once and awhile (which causes no output), and my 400.1 did it once. if that don't work were get ya figured out and bumpin'. .......................................................

LMS15 Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Posted January 26, 2009 ok, i tried different RCA's and every other thing i could think of, and when i said i tested the RCA's i meant a buddy did, he used his DMM and said they were "dead" and iv tried the master/slave whats the next step? can i try the output rca's from my 2 channel and run those to my amp to check for signal? so im thinking unfortunatly its something a bit more suriouse, iv had the cd player for quite awhile, maybe it dumped, but what would cause pre outs to go bad or inputs on the amp? i never smelled anything funky so i think anything burned up oh and yea this amp should be perfect at .5 ohm plus i have beefy electrical for a 3kw amp, 200 amp alt and 3 batteries 1 15" LMS Ultra<-Sold 2 12" Audiopulse Axis Quad Coils 2 18" RD Audio Alpha V2's<--For Sale or Trade American Bass VFL 700.1 (alot of power at any ohm) American Bass VFL 200.1 (3.8k rms @ .5 ohm) 2.1 cubes each at 32 Hz 125 sq ft RAAMaudio BXT, 5 Yards Ensolite 50ft 1/0 Knu Flex wire 4 Infinity 6.5" Temp 170x2@2 ohm Sony amp 200 Amp EA Alt 3 Exide Orbital's Youtube Vids....http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=gavinriley&view=videos
