fullofpurple Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 If you got to 40 then that would be 1600 watts, but that has nothing to do with the amp blowing. You should have been looking for around 33.5 volts for 1 ohm, if you where looking for 1100 watts. But I have heard of amps blowing during testing with no load connected to set gains, usually means that something is just defective, weak parts. Clipping wouldn't hurt the amp unless there was load connected. time to send the amp to dbr. shoud be about 200 including the cost of shipping both ways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, the amp new is like 180.99. I sent it to soundstream. i'll hear what they have to say about the coverage on it. it IS under warranty, i've only had it 1 month of the year. but i don't know if they'll cover it.

Will do. I NEVER use bass boost on my HU or ipod.. so that should be alright... I'll double check my actual Eq too, but i'm pretty sure it's fine.. Should i do this with the bass knob/remote gain knob connected or not? If i disconnect it it's the same as if it was all the way up? and it's a bass knob for the amp, not one of the RCA ones..

I hope they fix it. And ya, i'll keep repairs in mind for the future, but for now, it'd be cheaper to buy another one that get repaired if it was 200. Doesn't matter right now anyway, i still have to give Soundstream a call and see if they've processed it yet. The UPS tracking said it just got there today. So i'll give them till tuesday or wednesday and call them.

I would adjust with the gain knob if you are gonna use if not then just on the amp. If disconnected it should be whatever the gain is set on the amp, most likely it is a fine adjustment to the actually gain on the amp, but ask them on that one.

Parentnoia Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 I'm no professional, but I dont think it's the best idea to ground it to the battery. Might be a decent idea to ground closer to the amp. Quote 1999 GMC Suburban SLTNo system planned just yet. Look at "hate" spelled backwards. It spells "e-tah."

Might be a decent idea to ground closer to the amp. The battery is in the trunk. The diagram shows pretty much where everything is placed. my amp's ground wire is like 10 inches long. and the 0 AWG from that bolt to the battery is like 6 inches long.
