hi,
My problem is when i put the volume to 30+ (up to 50) my 4 speakers stops working. so the 4 speakers stop working and i only hear tweeters and the subwoofer. if i turn off my radio and turn it back on, the speakers work again normally but will shutdown eventually if i dont lower the volume.

Here is how everything is plugged (pretty much)
i have 1 amp for the 2 subwoofer( pheonix gold 2 chan 700w/chan) and 1 amp for the speakers (sony xplod 4 chan 60w/chan) and 1 capacitor for the sub's amp

4 speaker wires from the back of the radio -> amplifier then amplifier -> each speaker (4 total)
RCA (from the radio) -> subwoofer amp
remote -> "Y" split -> to each of the 2 amps
Power: 4gauge from battery -> distribution block -> 1x 8gauge wire to speaker amp and 1x 8 gauge wire -> capacitor -> sub's amp
ground: (x3) 4 gauge wire. 1 for each amp and 1 for the capacitor and all grounded at different spots.


here is the amps specs:

what could cause my speakers to stop working when i put it loud =o? the problem is recent, i didnt have that problem before. the speakers amp is set to 1 and the speakers are stoundstream 80w, 4 ohm


thanks

Hey man, which headunit do you have, do you have an rca output for the speakers on the back of the HU?

ogustuce

nope only one rca out from the HU. its a sony xplod, 52w/chan.

my first hook up was rca -> speaker's amp then from speaker's amp to sub amp
i also tried rca -> sub amp then sub amp -> speaker amp but in both cases i had a strange noise coming out of the speakers when the HU turned off so i plugged rcaa only to sub amp

(theres an 'in' and 'out' output for rca on each amp)

unknown123

it could be the capacitor, try taking it off, capacitors areent good try that!

^You're kidding right?

Are the tweeters powered by the radio directly or by an amplifier. It sounds like your Sony amplifier is going into protection. Powering the system down and back up resets it. The next time it shuts down, check for a protection LED.
