xpfx Posted January 16, 2010 Report Posted January 16, 2010 This amp is about a week old. I've checked and re-checked all the connections and they seem to be all good. The does not get warm, or smelly, just randomly it will turn off and come back on when it wants to. What could be causing this? The only thing that I can think which I didn't think would matter is my Mids/High Amp remote wire I spliced into for the Hifonics amp. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I can still get a RMA number and send it back, just don't know if its something i have hooked up wrong or the amp itself. Thanks in advance, Cody edit: How its wired: Power wire running back from battery into a distribution block, 4 guage into both amps RCAs ran normally Remote ran back from the radio fuse in the fuse box and spliced for two amps Ground is to a bolt under the back seat, bare metal that was sanded down. 2 Alpine Type R 1242Ds wired to 1ohm. ---- 1999 Ford Expedition XLT Alpine iDA-x100 Alpine Type S 5x7's x4 Kicker OSKS13 1/2" Tweets Kicker 08ZX350.4 ---- Alpine 1242D x2 Hifonics BXi 1610D 1/0 Knu 1/0 Big 3 Yellow Top Up Front Daily Driver

Just take your time going step by step, as if you were initially installing the amp again. The fuses looked like they were getting corroded and the amp is less than a week old, what causes that? I'll definitely do the remote wire. ---- 1999 Ford Expedition XLT Alpine iDA-x100 Alpine Type S 5x7's x4 Kicker OSKS13 1/2" Tweets Kicker 08ZX350.4 ---- Alpine 1242D x2 Hifonics BXi 1610D 1/0 Knu 1/0 Big 3 Yellow Top Up Front Daily Driver
Guest jbinn Posted January 16, 2010 Report Posted January 16, 2010 Take the advice of the few, trust me they know what they're talking about... I would also recommend redoing the remote and checking over all of the grounds.
