Subwoofer /amp problem?

Question:
I just installed a 300 watt amp and 10" sub kit in my car. It worked fine for a few days, but now, when I turn the volume up, it cuts out until I turn the volume down. I haven't adjusted any of the settings. Is this a grounding or power issue? Where do i start?

hooking up my subs?

first of all it depends on the type of amp you have either a 1 or 2 channel. first off you have to learn how to adjust your gain and how you do that is by turning your head unit volume about 3/4 up and then go to your amp and turn the gain up all the way until the subwoofer clips then turn it down a little bit and then you shouldnt have that problem. also your frequency knob on the amp should be around 50-80hz any thing higher than that and youre pushin out high frequencies. and then your LPF(low pass filter) and HPF(high pass filter) switch should be on LPF. if clipping still continues check to see if your amp is in a well ventilated area sometimes its because your amp is gettin too hot and needs to be somewhere cool

How do you wire in a c.b. radio into a car.?

Make sure the gain control matches the RMS Volts of the HU (head unit). Also make sure the LPF is on and set correctly.

Hey Jordon,

what is the best car subwoofer brand?


The manual won't provide the proper settings for the low and
high pass filter settings as well as gain, crossover, and bass boost settings because there are too many different systems and setups.

How do I wire a flipout head unit so I can play DVD's with out setting the parking brake?

I concurre. The most likely culprit is incorrect settings on your amplifier's gains. Gotta make sure they match the output voltage of your HU. I had the same problem before.

what is wrong with my brakes?

your amp will have a built in saftey that shuts off power to it when
it gets too hot. check your manual that came with it for installtion
guidelines since it will provide the proper settings for the low and
high pass filter settings as well as gain, crossover, and bass boost settings also. amplifiers do not come pre-set to any sound
setting from the box and require some tuning to get the best sound. check that stuff out since it should be quite simple to figure out. p.s. if the setup came from wal-mart return it
immedetaly and get something from a place like best buy.

Anyone willing to help me with my audio system?

how loud did u play it when it was hooked up sound like u blew the finalls out of the amp. if not check for over heating problems

Speakers and Amp?

I use a bridged 760 on my 10" sub and I hit the cutoffs before I am completely deaf....but it hits awfully hard.

For a '97 Honda Civic, how difficult is it to install a cd player?


Buy another 300 when you get the money and bridge them - hook the + of one amp to the + of the sub; hook the minus of that amp to the + of the second amp; and hook the - of the second amp to the - of the sub. Feed both amps with the same input and voila - now you have a 600w amp. In theory, you can chain these guys together until you can pull no more amperage out of your battery (then you have to start bridging batteries and alternators on your car, as well).

good brands for subs and speakers?


In spite of this, you will not "double" your volume. SPL is exponential with input power. You will notice an increase in the "hit" and volume before they cut out.

where is the stereo amp in the 1997 ford ranger?


Be sure your amp is "bridgeable" before you try this stunt (most are). Talk to your sales guy if you buy them at a store.
