Sub amp problem...

New member Username: Frankthetank85Post Number: 6 Registered: Jun-06 | my subs are still working., they were tested with a battery on the pos and neg terminal. they are working. the amp that powers the subs is what is broken. the power light stays on until the volume is moved up, then the whole amp shuts down with a pop in the speakers. if i turn the radio off then on again the same thing happens. i dont know what other information i can give. i hope this helps a little more, because i truely need help. the subs are not the problem, it is my 2 channel sub amp. what could be wrong and what needs to be done to fix it. |

New member Username: CappoPost Number: 1 Registered: Jun-06 | Hi, new to this message board thing. I do have a question for anyone and everyone who would like to take a shot at it. I have installed a Sony CDX-M8810 and a set of 4 Infinity 4012i 4" 2way speakers on my Harley ultra Classic. Unfortunately, I am not getting the full rich sound I prefer. It distorts in the bass area when at high volumes. I can only use 4" speakers, and I was wondering how to get clearer richer, midrange and bass at the higher volume levels I need on a motorcycle. Do I need a power amp?, different speakers?, I am as green as they come when it comes to car or motorcycle audio. I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks, Dolan |

If you want pretty good bass out of 4" drivers you need something better than Infinity like Morel (for example). Morel Integra Ovation 4" would be a great choice, but they don't come cheap. Check them out at - http://www.morelhifi.com/products/mob_pointspeakers_integra.html For the amps, look at - DLS Arc Audio Genesis Zapco DLS or Genesis would be a great choice, you can get a powerful amp with small dimensions. Also, DLS would be about 10 times easier to come by in the U.S. than the Genesis. That stuff is not cheap so it will require a bit of money. Also, get it installed professionally. Enjoy the music  |
