5CR4PPY Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 This just happened i decided to go mess with the pdx since i just got it. turned the car on and everything was great then i turned all the gains down and turned the hu(alpine 9886) volume to 30 and when i did this the amp went into protect mode and blow both fuses. i replaced them and now the amp doesnt play for s**t. did i just blow this mofo?

Guest DC Power Kyle Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 Alpine Headunit at 30 is really pushing it to the clipped level. Did you get magic smoke from the amp? Check your wires and does the amp power up at all? Do you hear anything when turning it on etc.
Boon Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 What ohm load was the amp wired to? Those PDXs are pretty stable generally... 10.x volts fo' life!
Jville140db Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 both my friends pdx amps did it his 4chan 100.4 and his 1000.1 he replaced the fuses and everthing was fine we think it had something to do with the transformers that are in the amps but he still has them up and running a year later i don't know why yours won't work i do remember him saying something about having to disconnect the speakers to get it back on hope this helps Car is 2010 Scion Tc Currently in car Deck- Sony XAV-60 in-dash mobile video system Speakers- Rockford Punch 6.5in comps in the front and coax in the rear Subs- 2 Gen 3 Rockford P3 12's dual 4 ohm Amps- Rockford P1000-1bd and P400-4 Alpine Mrp-f300 is in for P400-4 which is out to service Wiring- all rockford nuff said Enclosure- Dual 12in custom box by SRQ Battery- Optima Yellow top with big 3 done Sound Damping- All Dynamat products 1-2 layers throughout with liner on top Link to my build log- http://down4sound.co...=newpost&t=5275 Link to my youtube- http://www.youtube.c...ser/Jville140db MECP Advanced CEA # 110531 BassBox 6 Pro for Box Building/Re audio box calculator If you can hear the passenger it aint loud enough!!!!!!!

Do you hear anything when turning it on etc. no magic smoke just when i replaced the fuses it turns on for a couple seconds and i hear a slight thump noise from my front speakers then the red light comes on. the seller i got it from has on his ebay said something about 30 day exchanges so ima give that a try. thanks Kinetik 1200 x 2 5030 PDX 4.150 Morel Tempo 6 Alpine SPX REF SUNDOWN SAZ 1500D DC LVL 4 xl 12
