87 Safari- a little bass

[ascendantsubs1]

So I get em in today, hook one up, play it for about 30 seconds, and it goes into protect... Unhook everything, hook it back up, check ohm load, power, multi-meter everything---- Nothing!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Hook the 2nd one up, and it does the same **** thing, at a little over 1/2 way up on the amp gain, no bass boost.. Nothing on deck is turned up..

All subs sit at 1.2 ohms at the amp, so im not sure what the hell happened....

Send em to ARC for repair now

I was thinking that, but w 200 amp alt and batcap 2000s, i dont believe so...

HOWEVER, I did not check, so when they come back, i will be watching that closely!!

I'd check your voltage also. And add more battery power.

 

[ascendantsubs1]

Will do

Ahhhh the fun of it all //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

But it stays in protect, why would this be?

I figured a fried channel

 

[ascendantsubs1]

Both amps stay in protect, i hooked one amp up, n it went in..

and same thing w the second one, so im afraid to do anything w em when they get back

low voltage can cause the outputs to fry i do believe

 

[ascendantsubs1]

Fried outputs will keep in in protect?

idk maybe something rattled loose on shipping...had UPS crack a magnet in half and chip off parts of it and BEND the speaker basket about an inch in a couple areas...just to give you an idea of how they treat some things
