Chrisn077 Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 i wouldnt use a smaller fuse than recommended for that amp. that is 99% of the reason why your fuses keep blowing and the amp keeps cutting in and out.but for your grounds, is all of the paint on the metal that the lug is bolted down to cleaned off? meaning a shiny piece of metal is touching 100% of the lug. Im not using a smaller fuse, im using 25A fuses on the amp. Which is what it came with i thought. Yes the paint is cleaned off and it is clean metal. and its extremely tight. 18" DC Level 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scfaust Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 well i no a friends amp keeped cuting out when he turned it up and would come back when he turned it down i read the subs ohm with v/m bad 1 bad sub i dont know thought try it http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww203/scfaust1/alphadamp.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisn077 Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 ok thanks ill give that a try. The power light on the amp goes off and then comes back down every once in a while but if i turn it down it has all the power so im thinking its clipping but its not loud at all. 18" DC Level 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac58 Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Hmmm is this the first time it has done this or have you had it installed a while and its just starting to cause this problem? If it has just been recently installed re-wire your Dual 4 ohms to a 4 ohm load (or just connect a single type R to get a 2 ohm load). Turn your system on and up to see if your are still presented with the same problem. If not then your amp MAY not be 1 ohm stable.. I have tried looking up your amp and I cannot find it either.. Maybe a link with its info? this is just one possibility. If you still have the same problem then its DEFINITELY a voltage problem and you may want to check out the voltage in your car. If those fuses came with the amplifier and u have replaced them with the same fuse sizes as before then that shouldn't be whats causing the problem.

I just looked up the amp its not 1 ohm stable I dont think. The guy i bought it from said it was the same as the 1500D just two channels.. http://www.retrevo.com/search?q=Audiopipe+...odelid=23119829 18" DC Level 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris from Mi Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 sounds like a wireing issue, what size power/ ground/ fuse? and whats your voltage dropping to, check your subs resistance with dmm to make sure its about 1 ohm Orion 2500D, Jbl Gto 75.4 Team Wolfpack Audio FSQ 15" d2, mb quart xover, tweets peerless 6.5 mids Alpine cda-105 optima up front Knu klm 1/0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skullz Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 It's not 1ohm stable but you can hook it up as you would a regular amp with each sub on its own channel to run 2ohm and still get max from it, i would look at maybe the AP15001D for your needs, 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisn077 Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Are the MB Quart 1500s any better than the AP1500D? 18" DC Level 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
