Ct sounds 150.6

[Jeepsandbass]

Wasup guys so I pre-ordered a CT sounds 150.6 and when I got the amp i plugged it in for the first time and my speakers sounded pretty good with this amp I was driving and all of a sudden the amp just cut off so I cut my car off and cut it back on and it was in protect so I did the main solutions to fixing this. I checked voltage and everything and was fine i unplugged speaker wires didn't fix it I did everything I could to check the amp i even plugged in another amp and it was working fine so apparently the amp is blown btw I didn't have the volume on the amp to loud it wasn't even 1/4 the way up and I was just testing it basically this all happened in basically one day. I'm extremely upset with this amp and ct sounds I have contacted them on Facebook and they told me to send a email so I did its been 2 days since then and I haven't received an email yet im going to try my hardest to get a refund but if I was you guys I would stay away from this amp I can't believe it blew in less than a day. I will stick with my 4 channel Rockford amp for now.

It may just be a defect. No company is a 100% perfect. It's returnable.

Well this is very unfortunate.

CT should help you out and just give you a replacement amp.

But its CT so who knows.

Hope you get this fixed, let us know what happens.

Ok yeah hopefully it's just a defect and I'm sure they should give me another amp or something. Anyways yeah I'll def keep you guys updated.

Btw with a 6 channel amp how would I go about hooking up the rcas bc see there's 6 rca jacks on this amp and I only have 1 set of rcas going from the radio to the amp is there some kind of convertor or something I could use im not wanting to run 3 sets of rcas to this amp for 6 speakers lol. With the Rockford amp I hook one pair of rcas and it runs 4 speakers.

This amp doesn't have the built in ability to use just one pair. You can use Y splitters. Especially if the whole 6 channel will be used for the front and you use the amps built in crossovers. Or get a DSP
Also just noticed this amp isn't active capable. Hmm. My CT amps do. That *****.

So how many Y splitters would I basically need? And I honestly don't know much active systems I've heard about it but i dont know much about it.

Get a dsp like the rockford dsr1 if you want the proper 8 channels of rca outputs for running a 6 channel amp + sub amp...

Idk how you were running RCAs before but it could very well have something to do with the amp failing.

You're headunit would not have enough voltage to properly maintain 2 channels, in reality it would be a set of y-splitters for the left and right rca.

As jeff said a dsp of any sort would be needed especially since your headunit is not active capable.

By chance did you check the power wire fuse or did you fuse at all?

Also whats the actual setup like because an improper ohm load can kill an amp also.

I honestly didn't use a fuse bc I was basically just testing it I was going to put a fuse on the power wire the next day lol. But I guess I should have done it before.. And I'm pretty sure the independence was at 4 ohm for each speaker as they are 4 ohm Rockford speakers. I honestly didn't think trying the amp for 30 mins without a fuse would blow the amp. I can tell you that something was wrong with everything basically I started noticing the amp getting extremely hot and one of my speakers blew but like I said I barely even had the gain up I don't know if maybe something was wrong or what but it wasn't right.

how did you run your speakers, one to each channel or one to all the same channel? How many speakers did you run? let us know your whole setup. Because we need to correct this before you blow some other amp thats not your rockford amp.

Also when you check voltage was the voltmeter connected to the battery or right by the amp pos and negative terminals?

What are your head unit settings like? loudness, EQ, SLA, current volume vs max volume.

I had 4 speakers hooked up to 4 separate channels but I only ran 1 set of rcas so only 2 speakers were running volt meter hooked to the amp and batt tried both.. I use a loudness setting on my Sony mex-xb100bt and I use extra Bluetooth volume +6. But I barely had the amp turned up maybe 1/4 of the way up, no Eq or anything and clear audio is on no extra bass boost and hpf was. At 60 to 80hz slope 1 I believe. I just popped in a 150 amp fuse at the battery where the power wire is.
