Smoking kicker system please help me!

clayton gorman New member Username: Claygorman Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Wednesday, June 07, 2006 - 20:59 GMT Hi, I have a L7 kicker sub and a 1200.1 kicker amp. I had it hooked up perfect and we were listening to it while driving for about 15 minutes. Then all the sudden i noticed the bass was off and there was smoke exiting the trunk. I pull over about 30 seconds later and I open the trunk and no smoke or nothing... Everying appears to be fine. The amp has the protected light on and i replaced the inline fuse and still no change. If anyone could tell me how to "reset" or what not the amp that would be awesome! Thank You!

clayton gorman New member Username: Claygorman Post Number: 2 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Wednesday, June 07, 2006 - 21:03 GMT So i take it that it was the amp smoking not the sub? also... i hear that they can over heat... Do u think this may be a problem (its in the trunk)

clayton gorman New member Username: Claygorman Post Number: 7 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Wednesday, June 07, 2006 - 21:10 GMT im sorry i dont understand what u mean by VC config but it is a 1200 watt Solobaric L7. I might have set my gain too high which is why i think i am where i am lol. Im not sure on the RMS though. :-(
clayton gorman New member Username: Claygorman Post Number: 8 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Wednesday, June 07, 2006 - 21:15 GMT Would you say im being retarded if i were to bring up the idea of resetting the amp? as in draining all power and letting it sit.
bassman3 Gold Member Username: Dustin3 Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1521 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Wednesday, June 07, 2006 - 21:17 GMT VC = voice coil. is your l7 dual coice coil 2 ohm, 4 ohm or what??
clayton gorman New member Username: Claygorman Post Number: 10 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Wednesday, June 07, 2006 - 21:19 GMT its a dual voice coil and im sorry i dont know the impedance.
clayton gorman Bronze Member Username: Claygorman Post Number: 12 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Wednesday, June 07, 2006 - 21:21 GMT I was sold this amp and sub together by superauto bacs in Huntington Beach, CA I assume they are compatible... it is also possible they are retarded.

Polo Gold Member Username: Safe_cracker Chicago, IL US Post Number: 1197 Registered: Jan-06	Posted on Thursday, June 08, 2006 - 02:45 GMT Kicker amps are top notch in my book. I have a few Kicker sx1250.1 which are basically the same thing, it has never overheated nore gone over 110deg F on a 90deg day! I have also ran this amp on .5 ohm for a week with just a little addition of heat, thing is just bulletproof, IMO..Polo.
