Silver Member Username: JtownPost Number: 159 Registered: Mar-07 | First off, I was blairing it, although I was testing it to see if it heats up, which it doesn't. But I was playing that "tell me when to go" song; volume at around 18, sub around 12(on the HU). I have the gain turned about 3/4 and haven't really messed with anything else yet cause I haven't had time. It's pushin a single 12" dual 2 Fi SSD. Anyway, after about a minute and a half or so, the amp just turned off, didnt go into protective mode, just shut off completely. I had to leave my HU turned off for about 5 min and then it worked again. |

Silver Member Username: Smoke05Tucson, Arizona U.S. Post Number: 626 Registered: Jan-07 | maybe the gain was set to high... you need a DMM to set the gain correctly |
|
Silver Member Username: JtownPost Number: 160 Registered: Mar-07 | it did take forever, over three weeks when it should've taken less than two. Anyway, even if the gain is set to high, which I don't think it is, would that explain why it just shuts off completely? I know you need a DMM to set it correctly, again I haven't had time, I work 60-80 hours a week, don't get home till 3 at the earliest most nights....thanks though!(no sarcasm intended) |

Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 964 Registered: Feb-06 | If you turn the gain up too high on an amp, and the amp overheats, a protection circuit will turn the amp off. It won't turn back on unless the amp is back at a safe temperature. Set your gains correctly, and don't just turn the gains all the way up for testing lol. That's never a great idea. Luckily the protection circuit kicked in before you did any real damage. Also, when companies like RD are getting started and just getting everything in, they do their best to provide dealers with accurate dates on when products will arrive. For some reason it is always off, since buildhouses have problems, and things take longer than expected. So until they have everything in, shipping times may be a little exaggerated. But now that 90% of the products seem to be in stock, expect much better delivery times on everything. |

Gold Member Username: 04redmach1Columbus, GA USA Post Number: 1103 Registered: Mar-06 | Wow. Yes it did take a little longer than expected to get, but you know what the deal is with that, so why even say that? All you have to do is email me or ask these good guys on here about your problem. You do have an email though. Kevin |

Silver Member Username: JtownPost Number: 161 Registered: Mar-07 | Well considering since Kevin himself told me to turn the gain 70-80% up and I should be fine, I went with that when I had the time to stick the amp in and do nothing but turn the gain up to the suggested range. Kevin, didn't mean to offend you about the whole shipping issue. I'll get back to you on email since I have it now. |

Silver Member Username: RenegadesrunLafayette, IN US Post Number: 905 Registered: Oct-04 | "Since i have it now?" You look as hard for emails as my 6yr old does for her shoes. Installs arent much better. GL with life, i see a long hard road in your future. |

Silver Member Username: JtownPost Number: 162 Registered: Mar-07 | No I looked for it, there were only about 30 emails to look through including the ones in the trash and I found none to or from kevin. But thanks for the comment. |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 3814 Registered: Jul-06 | "Kevin himself told me to turn the gain 70-80% up and I should be fine" Set the gain properly and you should be fine.If you didn't already blow something up... |

Silver Member Username: JtownPost Number: 163 Registered: Mar-07 | Once again I didn't turn them all the way up, but thanks for the advice. For everyone else, I like how the majority of this forum is eager to dish out their sh!t they have to talk instead of advice or help for people that need it. |

Gold Member Username: JohnfiacA-ToWn, 9515 thumpin... What u bumpin? Post Number: 3407 Registered: Mar-06 | this thread is funny  reminds me of the person i sold the JBL BP1200.1 to... he kept clipping it and blowing fuses calling me like wtf kinda amp did u sell me???? i set his gain 1 more time and told him not to touch it like he did last time...its not a volume knob. And now its fine... It could have shutoff for a few reasons... your remote wire has a problem, amp internals got to hot even though u did not feel it in the heat sink. I would seriously turn it down tho.. the only way i would say you should have that up 70-80% is if your HU only puts out about 1V-1.5V but let the DMM decide that |
