Fing Stupid Amp

Heres the deal.

I have my hifonics 2005D amp pushing 2 Mjs.

Heres the problem.

When I turn the gain completly up on my amp it goes into protect mode within 20 seconds of playing music on it.

So now I have the bass eq turned completly up and the level about 3/4 to try and get the setup to be louder.

Anyone know why this is?

Also have any suggestions?

lol to "protect" it from blowing....

 

[craigzter 10+ year member]

because you are causing it to clip and making your voltage drop dramatically...just ease off of it a little..

not good for the amp either!

These guy's are all lying!

Turn it all the way up on the amp, turn the bass on the EQ all the way up, and turn the sub level on the head unit all the way up, it'll wang hard!

LMAO, turn it down before you blow the amp.

Get a bigger amp if you want more power don't clip the hell out of the amp.

Mojo's are dual 2 ohm each, so with two you have them wired for either 2 ohm or .5 ohm. That's the wrong ohm load for that amp.

What is the ohm load you have the subs wired for? For that amp you should have them wired for 1 ohm. That will produce the most power. 2 ohm will produce only 1300 watts or 650 watts per sub. A .5 ohm load will damage the amp and cause it to go into protect mode.

Turn the eq down to zero. Learn to set your wire your subs ohm load. Learn to set gains correctly, it's not a volume knob. Stop distorting your amp.
