thuase Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 Ok, I recently acquired a Kicker RX700 and a pair of 12" infinity's and I've come across some issues =[. After Hooking everything up the amp turns on fine, but when I play any music the subs are really quiet and not even noticeable unless I open my trunk and feel them. I've even adjusted the gain, but when I adjust it all I hear is static while I turn it and then it doesn't get any louder. Does anyone have any ideas on how this is possible? EDIT: Also I don't know if it is relevant, but my amp goes into protect, but the power light turns off after I turn off my car, even after pulling out my fuse to my battery. I checked on it a half hour later and it was off, but still I find it odd. EDIT2: The gain on the amp is broken, so a new amp solves all of my problems =] In the process I upgraded to 4 gauge wire which i needed anyways.

bumonskateboard6 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 First check to make sure you're grounded well on the amp, and check to see if your subs are in-phase, also what load are you running the amp at?

Low voltage doesn't blow amps. That's a myth. A router that does the sub holes makes rounded edges also?
skittlesRgood Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 it stays on after you pull the fuse? what HU do you have?

Low_Fuk Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 the reason for the quietness I would say is your rca's. I could be wrong but my kicker kx400.1 does the same shit. I haven't got it fixed yet and or had it looked at but I have repaired them before myself and it normally fixes the problem.
thuase Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Posted October 28, 2009 I have a 2 ohm load, a Sony Xplod CDX-GT630UI HU, and i'm hoping it's the rca's. I can't do much more tonight since it's dark and raining, but I'm not sure of what to do tomorrow. So far: Check RCA's and mess around with amp wires. The ground is fine though, if it was the ground I wouldn't be getting any power. In Progress: 1991 Nissan Stanza 2 DC Level 4 12's with level 5 DVCs SAE-1200D Sony Xplod HU TEAM DC Audio
skittlesRgood Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 ill be the 1st one to blame it on the HU. ive seen 2 sony HU's RCAs just die.

thuase Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Posted October 28, 2009 ill be the 1st one to blame it on the HU. ive seen 2 sony HU's RCAs just die. I'll that into consideration, but the RCA's on the head unit were working before the new install, so i believe they are still working. Thanks for the help though!

thuase Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Posted October 28, 2009 Ok, I'm thinking that my amp is underpowered, since I can turn the subs off with the gain so the gain works. Right now I'm running 8 gauge wire all around, so if I run 4 gauge do you think this would correct this problem?
