LiL PiNoY Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 ok when i play my music my voltage never drops below 12 volts (have the big 3 done, HO alternator and 2 batteries (kinetik 2000 and 2400). just got new subs in (fi bl) and played it lower than i usually do with my alpine type x's. so basically with the type x's the amp only shut off sometimes (when i play the volume on 25) but voltage would never be below 12 once again. i played the volume on 23 with the bl's and it did it today. when this happens 2 things either happen the amp shuts off and i restart my head unit and it plays like normal or the fuses blow and i have to replace them. i have the same amps on the subs (alpine pdx 1.1000) and only one run of 0 gauge going to the back and through a distro block (4 ways 1 amp for each sub, 1 amp for highs, and a battery) what do you think is the cause of the amp shutting off?

Cr@sh Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 What Ohm load are you seeing at the amp? Quote My old install at cardomain, never finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigballa39213 Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Fried outputs on your amp or too little fuzes.

kl0wn Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Make sure the ohm load you have the subs wired it can be handled by the amplifier (like Cr@sh said pretty much). Also check all of your connections and make sure they are snug fit. Also check out the fuse rating on the amp, and make sure you are using the correct fuse size for the amp (like Bigballa39213 said). That's the easiest stuff that you can do to check, if all of those are good, might wanna take the amp apart and look at the guts and see if there is anything visibly wrong with it.

LiL PiNoY Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) both on 2 ohm and if its fried outputs then is it fixable? when i had the bl's installed they said the connector output on the amp was bad and just changed it Edited November 30, 2009 by LiL PiNoY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiL PiNoY Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 how did you tune it. is bassboost on or any other EQ change. even on the headunit lpf is at 80 subsonic filter at 30 hz gain 3/4 on amp sub level 7 and bass 0 treble 2 on head unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 What deck? At 3/4 gain it takes.. hmmm... about 0.5v maybe to drive a PDX into clipping. My friend's ones are set to minimum gain with a 6v headunit and it clips at about 2/3 volume on the deck. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
