Speak Peak

Well still havent gotten all the bugs worked out... There is 1 amp that keeps going into protect on low notes, mainly when the doors are open.
But with the deck just over 1/2, EQ volume on 1/2, and sub level on 1/2, its NASTY. Doors closed and windows down is straight up violent. Even completely sealed up its pretty much just as loud.

Got a line driver put in today to help boost the signal. After we put the line driver in so far the rear view mirror came off instantly, and after a couple short tones the emblems/badge on my passanger door broke off. Its just a nasty amount of pressure it creates. For some reason the subs are barely even moving... Maybe 1/2" excursion at most. Not sure why, gotta figure that out. As it is the pressure makes it pretty hard to even breathe. Even just sitting on the floor of the cabin I reach for the steering wheel or door pannel to grab onto because it makes you so dizzy. You can actually feel it **** you in on the higher notes and push you out on the lower notes.

So far Im real happy with the sound it makes, even though its not even playing correctly yet, and hasnt really been turned up much past half. Batteries are sitting at right around 12v, and havent even installed the alt yet or anything like that. So Im guessing if its as loud as it is now, when everything is completely finished, its going to be rediculous.
your amp has a short my friend. had one do the same exact thing, played until half volume then shut off. you need a new amp

 
But its testing out just fine. The weird thing is when we disconnected that 1 amp and tried playing it, all the others went into protect.

We have tested EVERYTHING with a DMM and it all checks out fine... Amp output voltage, remote voltage, battery voltage, speaker impedances, load at amp, made sure they were all in phase, etc.

 
Now we're thinking it might just be voltage... Dont even have my alt in and havent charged the batteries. So thats the guess for now. Going to put it on a real slow charge and let it soak it up for a while and see how that works.

So If thats the problem, it explains all the "symptoms". I guess that one amp starts clipping out from the voltage (dropping to like 11.2) and shutting off. That would explain that, and also why the subs are barely moving, since if the voltage is sooo low, they wouldnt be getting as much power.

The more we keep playin it, the louder it keeps on getting. As it keeps loosening up, its just getting rediculous. With a full charge its going to be insane. Eventually when I step it up to 16v.... Yeah. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif
