Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 405 Registered: Nov-04 | That amp is a class A/B 2 channel amp, which is stable only at 4oh mono! Are your CVRs dual 2ohm or dual 4ohm. You can run the amp in stereo (both channels) at 2ohm, but I'm not sure if that's good. So you need to tell us if your CVRs are dual 2 or dual 4 and EXACTLY how your voice coils are configured (wired together). BTW Isaac, you must've had that intake amp for a while now, how is it?? |

Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 407 Registered: Nov-04 | Come on, Joey, help the guy with a problem at hand. Most amps that are stable only at 4ohm would not do very well at 2 or 1ohm load. You know he doesn't have it connected right and you know he probably won't be getting rid of it if it still works...so help with that. You can suggest another amp if this one's really blown. |

Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 5988 Registered: Nov-04 | Cody, I've personally tested that amp. It's a good value for your money. Here's how you can test whether your ohms are too low for the amp. Use DMM and meansure the VCs on the subs. Like Oleg said, that amp is 4ohm stable bridged. If you can't meet that, then run each sub on it's own channel. The amp is 2ohm stable in stereo mode. Also check the gain/level on the amp. If set incorrectly, it'll shut down. Next time it does that, touch the amp's case. If it really hot, then you're exceeding the minimum ohm requirement. |

Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 422 Registered: Nov-04 | Moving off topic now. Isaac, any reason to get any other amp? How's sound quality? Does it overheat? Build quality? |

Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 5990 Registered: Nov-04 | Oleg, unless the amp is bad, no need to get another one. For what it costs, you won't find too many that will out perform dramatically. I've been feeding 4ohms per channel, and the hottest it got was warm. At 2ohms, it did start to get hot. A better fan will certainly keep the temperature down. The one it comes with, is very cheaply made. The 8002T has survived -30 degree winter, as well as frost. One winter, the amp had ice all over the case, but it still worked without a hiccup. So from my testing, it was a good value for the money. Can say that about other brands. |

Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 428 Registered: Nov-04 | I know he does, he posted a thread for us before he ordered it. In most cases, audiobahn amps cannot be beat at this price range. They're just too cheap! |
