HOTDAMN Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 so i just put my subs and amp in my truck and hooked it all up correctly and played it for the first time and it didnt sound right it wasnt as loud as it usually was and everything was dimming, so after 30 mins of play or so i got home and felt the amp and it was too hot to touch and normally it is as cold as a cucumber so idk what the problem was, im just pissed i have no idea what i did wrong it should be about 75% louder. any help will be greatly appreciated.

BeatBox Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) check your grounds? Edited September 8, 2010 by BeatBox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamHT Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 If it was the first time how would you know how loud it should have been? Let alone knowing 75%, lol. What kind of subs, amp, electrical, ohm loads, settings, grounds as mentioned above... Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

Boon Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Check your sub wiring. Sounds like you might be shorting a coil? Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOTDAMN Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 2 12" Kicker L7's @ 1Ohm 1200W Diamond Audio Amp I had them in another car I had so that how I know the performance. I'm grounded to the floor of my trunk, pulled up the carpet, sanded an area down, and put a self tapping screw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOTDAMN Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Another thing, for some reason, when I started to crank up the head unit, the louder i made it, the less the subs would out put. Basically they were louder at 10, than they were at 40.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 It sounds like you may have your sub wires crossed up. If you have a multimeter check what your ohm load is at the amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
