BeAlLsTaR13 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 so tonight i was on my way home, listenin to music, and at night time i dont really "bump" just drive while listening to music casually.. HU was on about 21 out of 35, so not too loud.. still quiet enough to hear some road noise and i noticed my subs stopped bumpin, so im like wtf ok.. so i turn it up to bout 28 and no bass, at all.. so i turn my head quick.. amp light is still on, green so not in protect.. so i pull into a gas station, check everything.. push on the subs.. they move back and fourth so not seized up.. ground is 100% tight, intact to chassis.. havnt tampered with anything latly.. so couldnt have been anything ive done. the amp was reading an input voltage of 14.2.. so i wanted to see if my clipping indicator could catch clipping (to see if the amp is getting a signal) so i turn vol all the way up, knob on max and it was reading a clipping light... so the amp was clipping, yet no power was being sent out any suggestions? subs shouldnt have blown, their not even being fed their rated power, between 100-150 RMS less than their rated for, i dont clip the subs/amp... this happened randomly out of the blue, and worked perfectly earlier any ideas?

bigbodylexus Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Start simple, check all your connections, fuses, etc. Normally it's something small if it doesn't smell Quote 1990 Chevy Suburban (Big Booty Judy) (4) Sundown Audio Zv5 18's (1) Sundown Audio Salt 12K (1) Sundown Audio SAX-100.4 (1) Sundown Audio SAE-50.4 (2) Crossfire ST-1 Tweeters (2) Obsidian Audio ST-1 tweeters (4) Sundown Audio Neo Pro v3 6.5's Saving 2nd Bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPagan Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 sounds like there might be a problem with the RCA pre outs on the HU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeAlLsTaR13 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 yeah, no smell.. but main fuse is fine (my highs amp still works) all the fuses in the amp on the sub amp are not blown, rca's are sending a signal.. i hooked the rcas to my highs amp to check and they worked Quote Team Sundown Audio**CURRENT** -- 2012 Scion tC Build Click Here **OLD** -- 2002 Pontiac Grand AM Build Click Herecheck them out, slap me a comment2002 Pontiac Grand AM SE 2.2l 4 cylinder ecotec.-------------------------------------------------------------------Head Unit - Alpine CDA-9887Subs - 2x Z 12 v.2s - v.3 + NS Soft partsAmplifier - Sundown Audio SAZ-3500DEnclosure - 3.33 Cubes tuned to 34.66hzFront Stage - JBL P660c 6.5" ComponentsRear Deck - Powerbass 4xl 6.5" Mid-RangeFront Stage Amplifier - Sundown Audio SAX-100.4DWires - Kicker Hyperflex 1/0, KnuKonceptz 1/0, Knu 4 and 8 Gauge, Kicker RCAsElectrical - 275 AMP DC Power H/O Alternator, XS Power S3400, XS Power D2700Videos - http://www.youtube.com/user/BeAILsTaR13------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torres Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 or an output problem in the amp. if there was i dont know if the clipping light would still detect anything if that was the case tho. guess it depends where in the circuitry it's integrated into.

kl0wn Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Are you sure your speaker wire didn't come lose from the sub? Quote 06 Mini Cooper S Sundown, SoundQubed Cadence, XS Power 151s Sealed 155s Outlaw Windshield @ 37hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeAlLsTaR13 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Are you sure your speaker wire didn't come lose from the sub? i made sure, i checked connections at the terminals, and the amp outputs.. their both intact.. and its reading 1.7 ohms, which is what it read 6 months ago when i put them in.

Gotloud555 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Try another sub and see what happen. If that don't work then the amp might have some issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunatikGixxer Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) Are you sure your speaker wire didn't come lose from the sub? thats whut i think it is too. if everything seems to be fine from the outside check the speaker wire on the sub. Also does ur amp move around while ur driving or is the amp fixed to a certain poistion? Or does anything hit it where the RCAs or Power/ground/speaker wire go in (on the sides)?
