radio trouble

[tienda]

had the local radio shop install a amp and two 12's with a dowm fire

box. the problem i am having is that i can not turn up the radio up 3/4

of the way. it starts to cut out, the i turn it down and its fine. way does it

when the c.d. is playing. the c.d. is not skip, it just seems like its turning to

much power. has anyone had this problem. they also used a after maket loc.

sounds like you need a bigger amp. when you're turning it up it starving the system for power. what kind of amp, speakers, etc?

it's a sony 800 watt amp, and two sony 12s. i had it in my old truck

and had no problems. i'm running 4 guage wire from the battery to the

amp.

Sounds like a voltage drop check you connections at amp and battery. 4 gauge is good so the wire is not the problem. If everything checks out try a Capacitor. A 1 farad should do it. Good luck

You also might be running your amp at a load it cant handle. Check your amp manual for load capablilties. Bridged w/ single voice coil subs Your amp is running at 2 ohm some amps cant handle. If your subs are dual voice coil you might be pushing 1 ohm Not GOOD. Try this first then check on that Capacitor.

voltage drop is my guess as well, the other thought that i had is

that you might be "over driving" the amp causing it to protect itself. meaning that you are putting too much A/C voltage into the amps RCA signals

If you could give me more specifics as to what deck you have and how everything is ran I could help you out a little more. Bottom line, bring it back where you

had it installed and have them make it right, you paid them good money and

they should have no problem taking care of you. Keep us informed as to what you find out.

Over working the little pig.

I'm using the stock deck. i'm running the amp off the two channels. It's not

bridged. I took it back to them and them said they did not known

what was wrong. they tried unpluging the factor sub but that did not work.

now they are was guessing and i do not like that. i will keep you guys informed.

also i just order the pac-24 (loc). will give you guys a update.

That LOC from PAC should help out a little bit depending

on what LOC they have in there now, with the factory BOSE

systems in the truck and a "basic" LOC you are loading

down the factory amp and thatcould be doing all kinds of

weird things. once you get that done let me know if it cleans

anything up. Also if this shop didnt know what is wrong, its

time for a new shop. I do give them props to take the time and

look at it, but if they cant figure out this simple problem they

should find someone who can and take care of the bill if it is

their fault. again keep me posted as to what this new LOC does
