Rebel4055 Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Play some music at your listening level and get a DMM and test voltage at the speaker terminals. Also test voltage at the input. Quote Rest In Peace mother.

00hoe88 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 so i checked voltage on the power wire at the amp and got 14.1v i played some music and tested the terminals and got nothing every now and then it would show like .2v sounds like the amp is bad right?

skittlesRgood Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 check the resistance of the subs at the amp. see if it still says 4ohm. or take the sub out and measure each coil. is the amp going into protect at any point or does it just cut output?

chewie Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 you did put the volt meter on ac volts when you tested the outputs right?

Sanitarium Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 so i checked voltage on the power wire at the amp and got 14.1v i played some music and tested the terminals and got nothing every now and then it would show like .2v sounds like the amp is bad right? if you're checking the POWER wire and the POWER drops to 0, then you have a short in your power wire. get to tracing it.

chewie Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 this^^^ i thought you were talkin speaker terminals Quote 91 dodge colt gt.. 4 custom t600 15s audioque 3500d.1 tuned to 25 hz... stay tuned. blazer stroker 15 brutus bxi2006d terrible voltage drop 145.4@38HZ...
