bass/no bass

[rientile]

hello. i am a new member to this site and was wondering if anyone could assist me with a problem im experiencing.

first off i have one alpine 12" Dual Voice Coil Type-R Subwoofer with a sony xplode 1200w amp.

the sub will hit for about 10 minutes good after that it keeps going on and off but the music doesnt stop its continues to play just no bass. i looked at the amp to see if it goes into protection mode but it stays green.

does anyone know how i can correct this issue. ur advice is greatly appreciated!

Check the wiring inside your box first.

check your ground (makes ure its on good clean metal, not corroded or anything). also make sure youre remote line has good contact, not loose from eitehr the amp or back of the head unit.

You most likely wired that sub 2 ohm and the 1200w sony amp is NOT 2 ohm stable..

It should be wired 8 ohm...

If an amp is wired incoorectly ohm wise the amp will do some stranhe stuff. Like woofer wobble. This is something you will see when you look back and the woofers look like they are floating on air or they go totally full excurision to bottomed out suddenly. I had this happen to one of my CCA amps when I accidentally wired it for .25 ohms not .5 ohms. The amp was so hot and if you looked back it looked like the woofers were dancing and floating when no sound was even going through them.
