Amp Problem

[CozmoCon]

i have my amp set at minimum settings and when the bass hits the amp shuts off. could it be my ground

[5sp5drCB]

Yes

Yes it could

[CozmoCon]

should that be the only problem i check

Check your voltige two and your positive connections if voltage drops below 8 volts your amp auto shuts off. I don't really think your amps that strong wattage wise but you never know. Of you have a loose + conection that two will make it shut off.I'd say most likely it's your ground....

Your subs coil might be messed up,slightly damaged then itll be a different impeadence then when it hits it throws the amp into protect mode. check your power connections esp your ground to the car, then check the sub with an ohm meter and its connections. turn the crossover frequency and gain to ½ for both and see if that helps then tweak from there

It could also be the fuse. My amp kept turning off because i was using the wrong voltage amp. Once i switched it, It never turned off on me again. Check the recommended voltage fuse for your amp.

so i was trying to google my amp and i couldnt find anything on it. i had my sub bridged and i unbridged it and its runninf fine at the moment but idk if itll stay they way i checked all my connections and there fine

[Hopeless]

sounds like you were running wrong impedance...

if you were running bridged at 2ohm on 1 or 2 subs on a bridge that only supports 4 ohms, the amp will drop into protect.

then when you unbridged them you were either running 2 ohms on a single 2 ohm stable channel (1 sub) or you had each channel set at 4 ohms on a 2/4 ohm stable channel (2 subs) the amp will stop dropping out, but you wont be seeing quite the same amount of power.

i have a 12" mtx thunder 5500 i think it peaks at 600w and its 4ohms i think the amp is 800 watts but im not sure since i cant find it on google

my shit kept cutting off earlyer today but i figured out my issue. rf t1000.1bd + 3hp + decaf = wires vibrated loose on processor

so your sub disconnected your amp internally?

[M-benz]

It's happened to me once exactly like you described . I think 80% is your sub .. Something wrong with the coil . I had to sell my sub and get a different one and the problem was solved . How about try ur amp with different sub ? Maybe you can borrow from ur friends then ?

[SPLCB7]

Or you could pull out the good old volt meter and check to see if your subs at proper ohm load if your coil was shot it would rub. I rebuild subs trust me volt meter to your post and negative gets you ohm load. Your amp would go into protection not shut off.

I'm glad you found your problem.

i had a boss amp before but i liked the one i got because it had more settings to play with

Can't go wrong with more settings. That and boss isn't the best brand for amps so I'm shure what you got was a upgrade.
