Hello,

I just bought a treo ssi 10.44 and i have paired it with a kicker zx750.1 amp (940 rms). The sub is wired down ot 2ohms. my power wire is 4awg along with my ground, the speaker wire is about 10awg. gwound is unobstructed. The fuse on the power wire is 100amp, the kicker has 2 40 amp fuses. My HU is an alpine 9883

My cousin and i installed the amp sub and deck and we have tripple checked all the wires and everything. Right after we installed the sub and amp, we drove about 3 miles to an in-n-out and ate lunch, then on the way back home, i turned up the volume and the pop,the sup just turned off. we turned the volume down and then it turned back on, and it kept doing this...

once we got home we looked at the amp and everytime the sup would turn off the amps power/saver mode light would turn red...

All my stuff was brand new and we've gone into several shops and no one knows what were talking about, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!


Some of my friends say its too much power for the sub but i know thats not the case

Did you set the gain properly? That could definitely be a problem. Your amp is going into protect mode.

Do you have a solid ground? Take a DMM and measure the voltage at the amp and see how your voltage is doing. You shouldnt have a problem with that much power, but you never know.

because my cousin's friend said he was having the same problem and he changed the fuse then his system worked perfectly, so i thought that there was a bad connection with the fuse...


FYI as long as you don't touch a ground, a power cable wont hurt you

true but you have to think you have a second ground on that wire its in the trunk did you forget about that i have once or twice and accidetly started my car with out the keys also check the fuses on the amp they could be blown if so change them the amp might work after you do that buy a dmm go to
subwoofertools.com use the gain setting program on the site and set your gains accordingly

yea the amp fuses were the first things i checked...

I didn't think about the ground in on the amp, oops lol

We have gone over everything about 3-4 times now and still everything SEEMS to be perfect, but there must be something were missing or do you think that the amp is just bad?

yea, we figured it out, it was the power fuse. the guy that had the truck before rigged the fuse to fit, so it was actually shakeing and losing connection, i zip tied the fuse into place untill i can get a real power wire
