DGold Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) Thoroughly check for the wires being pinched, I had the same problem and that was the reason. I swore none were being pinched, I was wrong.

tacomabanga1986 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 ^^ this or maby its not working right are the tweets ran threw the comps cross over, and mids going str8 to amp? also check wires going into cross over cause they might be wired wrong, i had that problem with my kicker comp set, i was moveing the cross overs and i had the wire comeing from amp going into tweet output and tweets wired to cross over input, it worked but distorted bad, but i soon fixed it lol but i unno what else could be ur problem, does the amp go to protect, or just speakers cut out? try to unhook each speaker till it stops, or try it without any speakers for a lil bit, i had to do this befor with one of my amps Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the amp doesn't shut off or dim or go into protect or anything when it cuts out, it stays the same. The tweets AND mids are ran through the crossover.

The tweets AND mids are ran through the crossover. what kind of components are you running? some crossovers can't handle the wattage, I had a Infinity component set that would cut out at higher volumes. I removed the crossovers and they sounded like a whole new set.

Hmmm have you tried unhooking one speaker at a time from the amp to help narrow down the search? will also be able to tell if the amp is just bad that way.

Beanz Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 maybe too low of a ohm load. Quote That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

boomin Posted August 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 I haven't tryed unhooking each one, I will try tomarrow. And the Ohm load I'm not sure on, but I'm pretty sure it should be 4 ohms.
