sub problem

Post by Mitsu »

i read some of the other threads on the blown speakers and stuff, but my problem is a little different i think. So i turn on my car and the subs still hit like they normally would, then all of a sudden it stops, and this happens all the time, sometimes it stays off and sometimes ill hit it and it will turn on again, i checked the connections and they seem alright, oh and i dont know if this has anything to do with it but when i change the bass or sub W level sometimes the deck goes off and on once really quickly. i think that i have everything connected, and it has just started doing this, it randomly goes on and off, but most of the time it is off, i dont even have to turn up my volume, sometimes it just doesnt work.
Anyone know the problem?


What i have:
i have a sound storm labratories Force F200.4 200W x 4-channel amplifier
and 2 C4 12" subs 700W 4 ohm in a enclosed box
plus a separate 12 aluminum eclpise sub
And a older Alpine HU
I have the subs hooked up so that channel 1 and 2 is bridged wit 8 ohm load


I wired it with the 8 ohm load here, (option 2)

sounds like a bad connection, a faulty piece of equipment, or a lack of current for the system. you could also have the amp gain set too high and you're causing the amp to clip and go into protection.
