My Alpine MRP-450 gets hot just from turning up loud. Its hot to the touch after 30 mins of continuous jamming. Yes, Ive got good ground.

i started using my bass knob Saturday night and now my amp over heates i have a old school bd1000.1 and if i turn up the bass knob for about 30 min it gets warm and goes into protection what does it sound like to you

My JL RD500.1 gets hot and caused light dimming had all suggested manufacturers wiring and grounding. Switched to a RF Prime 500.1 both issues gone and hits harder... On a JL HO110RG W3v3.

@tyleristhecoolestint Yes, I've had an amp shutting its self down because it wasn't getting enough power, once sanded clean it worked fine.

I’ve got 2 JL 10” subs. They’re lower end, not bottom of the barrel but they’re by no means top tier. They’re 300w rms each. I’m running them with an old fosgate punch 400. I have it bridged and it overheats if I go on like a half hour drive bassin hard. It’s fine once it comes out of protection mode but I know that can’t be good for the amp. Any advice? I have a regular cab 2001 dodge so room isn’t plentiful. I’m thinking that’s a part of the problem. Any pointers?

is a kicker 1000.1 good because thats what i have also i havent used it yet so i dont know how it performs

I bought a power acoustik gothic series 4000 watt will it have an overheating problem if I hook it up to 2 twelve inch subs

@oldschoolhunter like which ones would you recommend?

Finally I reached the tuning steps after 2/3 half days to install everything.

i have two L7 15s with an avionixx amp 2400m u think is good for my speakers or i should get a different amp i got it hook up with a 0w wire wat do u think i should do!

i have 1200w sound stream amp that keeps over heating an shuting off. I had the amp in my lexus and it never over heated. Now its in my durango and it heating up and shutting off

I had the Alpine R-A60F that thing will overheat big time pulled it out and installed a jl audio XD400/4V2 big difference in sound quality and no more heating issues

is a lanzar a good brand or is it one of the cheaper brands?

@OBARRVAGOS also being under the seat...most cars have heater vents under the seat too so its prolly settin on top of that vent unless ur car doesnt have vents under the seat and when u turn the heat on in ur car some of that hot air is going to be blowing up under ur amp and that cant be good...if it was cold air blowing then that be great though

it’s been a long ass time but make sure your ground is a solid metal ground, and clean it up with sandpaper, if it’s got any paint on it it won’t ground good and cause extra heat

I connected the aftermarket radio's ground directly to the original radios ground wire and the radio was severely overheated. Should I track down the original ground?

I got a planet audio amp monoblock with a ds18 12 in single sub the ground is connected to a screw on my inertia switch. I've played with my settings in my car and sub to maximize the bass and when I find perfect settings the amp overheats. I noticed when it's cold out my amp will play hard throughout my trip compared to oh let's say anything above 65 degrees in which I would only get 15 - 30 min depending on music I'm playing. Is there any way of designing or putting something together to keep my trunk cool or to give my amp some cold air? Or would I have to switch amps?

THe only amp I had a real seriouse overheating problem with was my power acoustik 1600 watt- but that was due to incorrect wiring- i've seen friends with all sorts of goofy brands and most of them accually arn't all that bad imo- I've got a boss right now and the power for the money made me buy it and the things really is great never even gets warm outlasted 2 kenwoods I've owned- unless u've had one fail you, you really can't knock every other brand just bc you can afford the best

I keep my gains on 0 and use my car stereo, pre-amp and crossover to set frequencies and my amp never gets hot and pushes that subwoofer hard

Same here have you solved it

I disagree. Overheating is caused by ONLY clipping or oscillation. Most "cheaper" amps lie about specs so much, most 3000W amps barely make 300wrms at way below 4ohm. Rather look at the voltage coming out of the amp to make your decisions and not the packaging. Multiple the fuse with 13.8 or 14.4 to get True wattage.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but if you mean when you turn it up the it cuts out then it's probably a bad ground. Turning it up increases how much power is being drawn and with a bad ground eventually it will start starving of power

You want loud, buy a DBaudio extinct 15" or 12", rated at 5000w peak, nearly 1500W rms. If you wish to retain hearing, buy the little brother Trex by same company rated at 1000Wrms or 3500W peak.

@christianbuczko1481

6 жыл бұрын

And btw, both extinct and Trex are twin voicecoil subs requiring an expert to wire in correctly to the amps rating. You can run both coils in series, 4ohm, or run in parrallel to get 1ohm. Wire either to incorrect impedence amp outputs, and that over heats the amp. MATCH the impedance or blow your amps.

@SuBLiMeXGoLd Sony makes great stuff..... except when it comes to car audio- the only thing I would buy is subs- which are pretty weak- but imo I think they hit nice n crisp- had 2 before and sold em bc need $ gonna buy another 12" to put in my backseat.... trunks full

Well if your not a noob then i need your help because I'm dumb as F about car audio. Im sure i have blown one of my twelves, but it passes all of the so called tests to check if its blown. I think its technically bottoming-out bit again I'M NEW TO THIS. The fuk'd up subwoofer does produce bass & at a comparable level to the other sub in my SUV. The problem is that unlike a blown sub that distorts bass & makes that muffled rattle that blown subs all make. Instead my problematic one makes low & mid level bass but when the bass really hits; this one makes a terrible "Thwack!" Slapping sound. The slap doesnt reverberate. Just one sharp crack every time the bass really hits. Some problems with subs are fixable & other's spell doom for the speaker; but NONE of the youtube vids or car-audio websites i have checked address this. The sub glides smoothly up & down within range when pressure is applied. No scratching, clicking or popping sounds come from the sub when i gently push it up & down... Sorry for the lengthy question but I'm trying to provide needed info. Do you know whats wrong? I dont know the impedance or ohms, just that its a 4-chnl 1,200 watt amp &pushing two 12" subs. I traded a Hdtv for the system & paid a shop to install it. Yes im a dummy; please help me solve this.
