Fat guy on the GROUND.
I bought a pair of American Bass VFL-Hybrid amps for a stealth install in my Hyundai Veloster.
Well, that never happened, so Now I am putting everything into my '05 Silverado with the Bose LUX system. I've replaced the stock Nav unit with a JVC dbl din. This weekend I deadened all 4 doors and installed my front stage, while at it I did the Big 3, and of course ran the stretch to the rear of my cab. Also ran a Stinger 6 channel RCA signal set.
My front stage is American Bass VFL 65 MBs with Massive Audio DT05 tweets and splitting the signal are some Polk passive X-overs.
Well the 4channel VFL, the 150.4 is giving me some issues. When I connected everything, I had all 4 channels set at 0 gain, and full pass, controlling the freqs with the HU.
Upon powering up, it came to life, lights on, the whole goodness...or so I thought.
No audio. None. So, I set my volume kinda low, but not 'too' low. The rear doors are still powered by the HU. So, I decide to turn the gain up just a hair. Maybe 10%, tops. Still no audio. Blue power light is on, no audio. I change the fade to front only, no change.
I look down, protect light lit up.
So, I try to check everything out. I get the other VFL Hybrid, the 2680.1 and install it. Perfect. No issues AT ALL. I put the 150.4 in. Protect light flashes 1 time as its powered up, then nothing. Fuses are all good. Changed the blade on amp to be sure.
So, I go to Wal Mart, get a dual 400w 2 channel....it works flawlessly, not a clean sound, but plays, lol.
Any idea whats the issue?
Tomorrow I will bring it to a shop north of Houston to see if they can tell me the issue with it.
If anyone knows what could be the problem, pls let me know.
