i have a 2000 dodge ram V8. and i have put 2 15" comp vr's and a 1250.1 kicker sx amp......and my amp keeps turning off by itself but then it turns back on by itself (thats when i have my volume up loud)......is it the amp or is it my truck battrey????? (oh and my amp is mounted on top of my subs, i dont know if that really matters) im only 15 and i dont really know about this stuff (oh and could it b my alternator or do i need a cap compasitor or something like that)
if its shutting off like that too, check to make sure to have a good solid ground. making sure its grounded to BARE METAL, and not paint. check your gain too, to make sure you have it set correctly. if you dont know how, there atre plenty of threads in the amp section about gains
Listen to bass i had teh same damn problem my amp would just shut off it pissed me off so much.... Turned out that my ground was hitting metal making my amp go into protection mode everyime i hit some hard bass. Check your wires out...
surprised no one asked what ohm load he's pulling from the amp (not that he would have any idea)...kind of sounds to me like he's overtaxing the amp....
then again....what exactly do you mean by "my amp is mounted on top of my subs"?...is it on top of the sub box or are the 15's blowing straight into the amp possibly flexing the $hit out of it?
