ok so i went out and took a look at the amp and speakers. Im a newb so bare with me. I tested the voltage at the amp. DMM + & - to the power and ground terminals on the amp. It stayed at a steady 11.86 to 11.90 the lowest it went was 11.86 when the speakers cut out. I didnt think that was a...

lol i thought the same thing but i read somewhere on some forum that this dude was having the same problem as me..His theory was that the remote wire was dropping in voltage from the HU at louder volumes some how. he troubleshooted by unplugging the RCA's and seeing if the amp would go into...

@morespl lol i think i may have to. I bonded to it like a child and my kickers love that amp like a bastard son. IDK though. Does anyone think its fixable?? If so, is it worth it? I saw the thread here about the MIKE dude who supposedly fixes amps. I got extremely happy....and then I skipped to...

No i havent tried another amp. I dont have access to one. I was trying to hook it up in my brothers car but he sold his system and i didnt want to do a clean install on somebodies else car to troubleshoot mine. I dont know anyone else with a system. But i have a "voltage measurer thing" on my...

Thanks for the advice on how to measure the ohms the amp sees..yes U answered it correctly. And yes it played fine before but now it cuts out at certain volumes. Actually this is how it happened. One day I was playing music LOUD. Speakers were blasting fine, no louder than how i usually blast...

Yes it says in the specs that its stable at 1ohm The gains are a lil less than 3/4ths even when i set the gains lower it still clips at higher volumes. It never did that before now. Im not sure of the gauge but i know its big. it may even be 2ga bc I have to strip the wire down some to fit into...

bump..any suggestions? Could someone just explain to me how to measure the ohm load the amp receives...or just anything. At least so i can test some things. Thanks in advance

ugh i wish i did have the money. I really need a new amp to replace my older brutus series thats crapping up right now.

System: 2 Kicker L7's dual 4ohm voice coils wired in parallel to produce 1 ohm load Hifonics 1605d running at 1ohm Ok so I have an old Hifonics 1605d amp thats been giving me trouble. Okay here goes. Ill just list the problems so you can see them clearly: Amp turns on fine, works fine until...
