If it cuts out at 3/4 volume your amp gain is to high or your speakers are bottoming out due to to much low frequencies going threw it. Garett |
yry moveing the speaker over 1 ch and see if that ch then goes to 1oms

OK! Here's a little update, it gets more and more complicated but things seems to be pointing to a faulty speaker or speaker connection. This should be a sticky because it's one hell of a rare situation.
Here's what I checked out withing the last hour. I tried to plug every channel in the amp along a new radio I just bought, when I opened up the radio (pioneer 7800mp) I heard a loud high pitch tone coming out from the speakers so I shut down the HU, I disconnected the faulty channel and opened up the HU again, I now get a little isshh(kinda like engine noise distortion except that the engine was not running) sound at zero volume. I assume the front preouts are damaged... I then tested the faulty channel with another speaker, it works perfectly but the sound clips at high volumes, I suppose it is due to fact that the pre-out are damaged I then tested the supposedly fautly speaker components on another channel and I get the same thing, A loud high pitch tone. What conclusions can you make from theses analysis? Can I conclude that a component speaker set could have cause my radio's pre-out to burst? Is the amp ok? |

you have more going on can you tell us how you have your set-up like the + power wire is next to the rca's or that the power is on one side and the rca's are on the other side how is the amp (-) to the ? how is the deck (-) to the ? where is the rca"s ? where are the -/+ wires ? |
