I got this amp on two Pioneer Primier subs and for some funny reason if a certain song comes up it plays and well into 2 minutes afterwards it shits down and the only for it to come back on is when I turn the volume down or change the song. Why does that happen? Is it because of the alternater thats being pushed hard or is something else going on here?

sounds like a gain problem, lower your gain on the amp and see what happens. also what setup are you running? 2-4-8 ohm?

your probably clipping your amp...

You have your gains set too high (probably) and your amp is going into protect mode, so nothing gets damaged in the amp. Most amps do this anymore. Readjust your gains, search around, cause this has been discussed many times, and you should be good to go.

I'm running 2 ohm. Where do I readjust the gains at? On the amp or the HU or both?

I know what y'all are talking about now... but think my Camry can't handle too much because at night time when it goes into protection mode headlights always dim with everybeat that drops so maybe I need a bigger alternator???

Damnit, there it went...

I don't feel like digging up the old thread, but if you haven't done the big 3 yet, do that and see if it helps, and TURN DOWN YOUR GAINS ON YOUR AMPLIFIER!!

rexrunner · 10-05-2006, 08:52 AM

never too many questions

JayMax03 · 10-05-2006, 10:33 AM

OK Y'all know I already told you that the headlights dim everytime the beat drops right.... back when first got me Camry the radio and everything was from the factory. If I let up 1 of my windows everything seems fine, but if I let more than 1 window up at the same time the headlights dim and the motor from the windows goes slower than usual now what do y'all call that?
