ptcary Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I don't believe any Pzi amp is 1 ohm stabe let alone 0.7. Quote PTCary 2003 SMD PT Cruiser 2011 Honda CBR 250R 2010 Mazda 3i Sport MY BUILD LOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumproast789 Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) I don't believe any Pzi amp is 1 ohm stabe let alone 0.7. The websites I look at say it is.., the newer version people say they have it working on 1 ohm. Maybe since this is the older it doesn't work. A member at *** said this "Dual 2 ohm coils should read like 1.6-1.7 ohms per coil when you hook them up to the DMM. So if you check them with the coils wired in parallel already, it should be about .7. But every sub that's dual 2 ohm and wired in parallel is 1 ohm at the amp." So it's not really at .7 at the amp I guess Okay update. I got a new fuse, little bit different, didn't seem like it went in all the way, but same fuse rating same type. Plugged everything up and it didn't turn on. I tried shoving part of the power wire into the remote turn on so its always on to see if it turns on and it didn't turn on. I got 12 v at the amp, and 12v with the remote turn on (with the part of the power wire in it) and still didn't light up or play. With the remote turn on it didn't play or light up. settings all the way down nothing worked. This worked on my 2 previous set ups, i don't know why these wires wouldn't work. The wires were also originally installed with this amp, so IDK what happened. Help guys...

Boon Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Disconnect the power wires from the amp. Set your multimeter to ohms and put it across the power terminals. If it goes very low then slowly rises your amp might be ok. If it stays at 0 you've blown the power supply section of the amp. Quote 10.x volts fo' life!
