amp is on but sub not working wtf should i do

 

maybe it's ur fuse if its not that it might be a crossed wire or even a bad connection thats if ur lucky nd if ur not ur sub blew or mabe ur amp aint sending connection but that just mine opinion , also need a little more info does it not make any sound at all or what ?

 

Aftermarket or stock?

 

Hook another speaker, any speaker up to it and see if it plays. Helps to know whether the issue is the sub or the amp.

 

Go over your connections...

give more info

Did it work then stop all of a sudden we need more details

 

aftermarket

 

it was working but when its hot out and i put it loud it turn off...and i dont have a capacitor

 

fuck my head hurts from reading your short sentence.


Your amp shuts off because it's hot outside and it's working to hard especially when you turn it up. is that what you are saying basically?

What is the brand of the amp? and you don't need a cap.

 

hahahahhahaha.....PIONEER GM 1200W MONOBLOCK

 

So what ur saying its works during its normal outside but when it's hot out side you have no more bass? if yes that means that ur amp heats up which is normal the best u can do is try to run a lower gauge cable like 2 gauge. and also please be a little more especifc . on what subs you running.

 

Are you using small gauge wire?

 

Do you have it wired to too low of an ohm load? We need a lot more info if you want help.

 

im running 4 gauge wires with 1200 watt pioneer amp ....whens its normal weather out it work perfect .....when its hot out it doesn't...so i should run a 2 gauge wire?

 

4 is more than enough for a 1200 watt pioneer amp... RMS or otherwise.

What kind of sub do you have (model number and specs)? How do you have it wired? ...and which model pioneer amp do you have?

Just telling us Pioneer 1200W amp and Pioneer 12" sub will not help at all... we need model numbers and specifics of the stuff.

My guess is that you have an ohm load close to, or exceeding, the limits of the amp and it only goes into protect mode when it gets hot. You get luck the rest of the time when it is cool.

Thanks.

So 600w at 2 ohms, 300w at 4 ohms on the amp.

The subs are single voice coil 4 ohms. Do you know if you have them wired to 2 ohms or 8 ohms?

 

Sad thing with younger people, give less than a sentence of issues and expect full blown "this will fix it" answers.

Not correlating young age with experience, but...

1. Did you hook this up yourself?
2. Was the amp new or old? If old and purchased from someone maybe there are issues.
3. Please learn the basic troubleshooting techniques before you ask for help.

 

ahh ur right about tat.... i did hook it up my self..can u tell the steps to how to do it right

 

There are plenty of good topics in this forum and others that can do that. A quick search on google will help you
