I just put in a 200w pioneer amp to power my MB quarts in the front. I have an EQ on my headunit, and i have it adjusted so i can just change the bass and treble depending on what i want to listen to. My problem is that when i have my bass up and the stereo playing pretty loud, my amp cuts out. The low pass filter is off, gain at normal, and its running to crossovers. Any ideas as to why it cuts out on me? BTW, i thought it was my ground, but it looked fine. I re-did the ground anyways, but its still doing the same thing.
Thanks --------------------  |

When it does cut out, its only for a second or two, thats why i thought it was a ground at first. However, when it does cut out, the amp light stays on. And, the amp is not even hot to the touch.
Anyways, i looked at what "normal" was on the amp gain, and it turns out to be 500mV. My HU is 4v. I turned it down and i think i matched it pretty close. It seems to be working good now, but ill let you guys know otherwise. Thanks for the help -------------------- |
