I live in montgomery county maryland. I dont think i have anythihg that whould help you as my stuff is only for my car. However you could take it into any audio shop that does installs and have them check it out.
amp powers on, says it's getting 12-14 volts (D Class Amp)
i get no sound from the sub though.
i tried hooking an ipod up to the amp instead of the head unit and got no sound
hooked amp up to large house speaker capable of 150 watts and had the gain set real low, no sound
Amp is an Alpine MRD-M301 and the sub if an Infinity Perfect 12" DVC
wired to 2 ohms
worked perfectly fine for about 2 months, then it would shut off sometimes. amp wouldn't say "HOT or TEMP" or anything like it should be going into protect mode.
finally after a few days of shutting off at random, it just stopped putting out sound altogether.
If you have DMM, measure the subs. See if you actually get 4ohms or 2ohms. If you do, then the VC is not blown. You can test the subs with home stereo. As for your amp, it looks like it's blown. Was the gain/level set correctly? Are the fuses on the amp good/blown? If you have any electronic background, you can open up the amp and start testing different stages. If it were Orion/Zapco/JL, then it's worth spending time, but I hate to tell you this, but Alpine amps are overrated. You can find better amps for the money.
in a system that works perfectly fine, what kind of voltage should you see going to the sub through the speaker wire?
on mine i get like 0.1 volts going to the sub through the speaker wire from the amp. i figure this means the amp is sending nearly enough signal to move the sub.
