Amp goes into protect mode at high volumes...help

New member Username: Howiev2008Post Number: 1 Registered: Oct-09 | Hi, I recently purchased a 3000 watt home stereo receiver (specs found here: http://www.pyleaudio.com/itemdetail.asp?model=PD3000A ) to which I connected the following speakers ( http://www.pyleaudio.com/itemdetail.asp?model=PPHP1290 ) at 400watts RMS @ 8ohms... the stereo says it puts out 300watts @8ohms, which seems like it should be alright to me, but when I turn up the volume the music skips. Suggestions on how I can fix this or what's wrong? Thanks, Jeremy |

New member Username: Howiev2008Post Number: 2 Registered: Oct-09 | I've been looking all over trying to fix this, but no luck... I've tried switching polarities in the wires, and have had the system wired up several different ways (speakers on different/same channel, etc.) only other thing i could think of is the stereo says its a pre-amp which I'm not really sure is... |

New member Username: Howiev2008Post Number: 3 Registered: Oct-09 | yea thats what I thought haha I bought it "refurbished", I originally thought it was broke (for a different reason), at that time it was under warranty (it no longer is), it was sent to a tech place that said there was nothing wrong with it, I got it back and got it to work minus the music shutting down at high volumes, it's like the music is skipping, until you turn the volume down again, not even that high of volumes either, the pair of computer speakers I own are louder... |

Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 13675 Registered: Dec-04 | I won't comment on your purchase decision, JV, but the product itself is questionable. Return it, if you can, and see wht we can all recommend to get good sound on a budget. It can be easily done. Malloy in 3...2...1... |

New member Username: Howiev2008Post Number: 4 Registered: Oct-09 | Yea seemed liked a good deal at the time, but obviously i regret it now... I'm mainly looking for something to play music through... do you think I should scrap the speakers too or use them with a different receiver or something? The speakers seem to work fine and sound decent also... although I haven't heard them at a loud volume |

Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 13685 Registered: Dec-04 | Nor would you likely want to man. 600$ can buy you a nice receiver and speakers. Add some for source and cables, stands. 800 can do a lot, less if you are ok with pre-loved. Hit the pawn shop etc. and have a look. |

Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 14062 Registered: May-04 | . Forget the pawn shop and go to a decent dealer where you get a warranty and return privileges. How loud is loud, JV? I'm kinda thinking anyone who buys 3k watts is intent on disturbing the neighbors. . |

I'm kinda thinking anyone who buys 3k watts is intent on disturbing the neighbors. long time no post .. 5 weeks in China will do that to you. If those neighbors were some of the regular posters here .. they'd already be disturbed ...  |

Bronze Member Username: EzntnGreeneville, TN Post Number: 25 Registered: Apr-09 | Our company (based in Montreal / Trois Rivieres) is, like too many others, outsourcing to the lowest bidder. In this instance, it was equipment I formerly manufactured, before we were closed down in 2004. I was there insuring procedures / processes were followed and quality was not sacrificed. A most interesting experience, I look forward to the next opportunity |

Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 3133 Registered: Feb-07 | Cool. Are they gonna keep following the processes now that you're not there? |

Bronze Member Username: EzntnGreeneville, TN Post Number: 26 Registered: Apr-09 | Actually, the structures .. they fit on the wet end of a paper machine, are about 3.5M long. I was there to completion, and saw pictures today of them in the shipping container. I'll be heading to TR in a few weeks to review the experience with Engineering and Outsourcing. There'll be no dining outside by that time downtown. |
