i am having a problem with one of these amps. i have 2 of them and the one works fine. the problem is that i have 2 alpine type r 15's dual 2 and i have 1 sub to each amp and when i turn the vol. up it looks like one subs moves alot more than the other. i swiched the subs to the other amp and then the one that didn't move as much moved more than the one that moved alot. i think the amp might be bad. any suggestions??

check the gains on them. do you have the rca cables daisy chained from amp to amp? or did you use Y splitters for it?

i used y splitters at first then i used the line outs on the amp and still did the same thing. gains are all the way up on both. frequency is the same. i'm just very aggravated at this now i have to get this ready for sbn next week.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

2500D's really dont like to be daisy chainged. use the y adapters with em. i hear that when you daisy chain em...sometimes you get a voltage spike through the rca's...frying the rca inputs.

gains are all the way up on both

First thing you need to do is read the gain setting tutorial in this forum.

What type of electrical setup do you have?

i have a 200 amp alt built from a local shop w/ 3 interstate workaholic batts.

i used y splitters also and the one sub moves hell of alot more than the other.

i've never ran two amps, but don't you have to set them to the same power output? if you just have them both turned up, they might not be putting out the same power to each sub.

match ya gains and settings on the amp. try to get them as close as possible. also if u fry em, can i buy them off ya //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

everything is matched up gains freq etc. i even ran both amps w/ the gains all the way up and did the same thing so i don't know what's the prob. i guess the amp.

u sure both box are built the same,sealed up properly,etc.

Even if both of your gains are matched, you still need to set them properly, rather than all of the way up.
