Cooling fan?

[southpoleman69 10+ year member]

I heard hifonics amps dont have a cooling fan, therefore causing them to stop working when dropped to 1 ohm. any truth on this?

if so, does it mean crunch autotek and mb quart amps are the same way because of being made by maxxsonics?

lol thats what i thought, and thats what i did with my w7, but then the amp went in protect. later i heard they dont have cooling fans which was the problem

Seems like less resistance would equal less heat. Either way I have a cooling fan and run cool all day at 1 ohm.....

ya the whole question is the truth to no cooling fans in maxxsonics products. because other amps have em, or at least the ones ive had, until my hifonics.

Only asking because i think im going with a autotek mm1-1500d for 2 12 re sexs. im gonna see how it is, and then decide what to do with it. any objections? since the *** are 600 rms each figured itd be perfect.

If your amp is overheating, then something is wrong. I run my bxi2006d hard all day, and it does fine.

Make sure you have good grounds, and your electrical is there to back it. If you have shitty electrical, that could be the problem.

Having a fan has really nothing to do with it. I'm sure if Hifonics felt it needed it, they would have built it in. Not that you can't just add a fan externally very easily...

I've ran Hifonics, Crunch and Autotek and never had an issue with heat and they where all pushed hard for long periods if time.

cool all i needed. just wanted to see if that had any effect on mine dying or not.

But it was just weird cuz it worked fine on my w3s, hooked up the w7, ran it for a few days and it just died. so i bought a fr p1000, and used the same wiring, and that amps been fine. so idk what the issue was its whatever now thow, i just asked cuz im looking at a autotek, re *** package deal

may be its somthing with the w7

may be its somthing with the w7

no.

you prolly did not have the electrical for it.
