First my HCCA blows, now this. My Alpine V12 amp kicked the dust today. It started blowing smoke like crazy then kicked off. Does anyone know what it means when the "power" LED blinks red? The manual said it was poor battery voltage, but it's getting power. The "music" LED stays green which means no music signal, and the "protection" LED is green which means it's normal. Anyone know whats wrong with my amp? Thanks.

 

Did ya HCCA and Alpine blow in the same vehicle. hmm if it did then there is somthing wrong with the electrical system.

So yeah your amp is right, your batt or alternator has somthing wrong with it.

How did it blow, while you were playing at high volumes ?

where u running the wrong impedance? because as far as i know the alpine v12 series of 2002 was only meant to be run at 4ohm mono

 

OUCH [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img] thats gotta suck...hope you get everything worked out

 

Thanks Pridefcf, yeah when it blew, I was running in stereo at 4 ohm. I had it bridged at 2ohm for just a few days a few weeks ago to try it. It seemed to go well. Kinda weird that it blows when running a measly 4ohm stereo though, I find [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]
