abaddon Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 So I just bought a new car today, 2003 Crown Vic P71. So I threw the system in there. I just bought a brand new Alpine MRP-M1000 amp today and got everything hooked up. Within a matter of a couple minutes, the amp got really really hot. Like, burnt my hand hot. Brand new amp, defective maybe? Any other reasons why it would be hot? Bad ground? 2003 Ford Crown Victoria P71 2 12" Kicker CVX's Audiopipe AP15001d Stinger SR80 Isolator with DieHard 1200CCA battery Streetwires 0awg Secondary - 1998 Ford Expedition XLT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis87 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 could be alot of reasons could be clipping the amp starving the amp (to small of power wire, low voltage) could be defective but i doubt it Not getting enough air 2 18" dc lvl 5s with extra spider 1 Crescendo bc5500 4 g31 batteries Dual dc power alternator kit Youtbe: http://www.youtube.com/user/hulbert87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis87 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 did a little searchin, checkin out reviews, there are some complaints of it getting hot. If it doesn't shut off then its fine, thats what the thermal protection is for. Just make sure your gains are set correctly and you should be ok 2 18" dc lvl 5s with extra spider 1 Crescendo bc5500 4 g31 batteries Dual dc power alternator kit Youtbe: http://www.youtube.com/user/hulbert87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imfrom210texas Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 You now have an H/O alt? If Morgan Freeman narrated a story on how great AIDS is, I would be captivated and tempted to contract it myself. His voice just fills my soul with warm fuzzies and puppy tears. He has NO idea and may have a touch of autism to be honest. Is this guy real or is he joking? i actually mistook him for a lesbian in that demo video Wanted to mess around with a box for the garage. Was thinking 4 6x9 in 4 cube at like 30 hz... These are the things that make me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abaddon Posted April 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 hot enough to burn skin? don't think so, this thing is on fire, the internals are begging to be melted. Voltage is 14.5 on 2 batteries and stock Police Interceptor alternator(which is usually around a 190-200 so it can run all sorts of police equipment) 0awg wiring all through the car 2003 Ford Crown Victoria P71 2 12" Kicker CVX's Audiopipe AP15001d Stinger SR80 Isolator with DieHard 1200CCA battery Streetwires 0awg Secondary - 1998 Ford Expedition XLT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluX Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 I have the same amp... doesn't even get warm. Weird. May be the fact that my sub is hooked up at 4 ohms too.

Rainman215 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 I had that amp wired up to 2 ohms. And it would get overheated if the backseat was up (even though the back seat being up didnt cause the amp to be in a closed spot really(besides the trunk lol) but honestly I didnt know the proper way to set the gain so it was only like half the way up. I did some research on the amp after i bought it (smh) and alot of people had the same problem of the amps getting hot or going into protection.

Skullz Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 I have the smaller m500 and never had a heat issue, i'm thinking your running at 1ohm instead of the 2ohm required 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...
