was just woundering if anyone needed any help thats all,

sorry dude didnt mean it like that, i work at Everything Electronic, thought u might want some training, advice...etc etc ....jumped the gun

hey clint, can you test a amp to see whats wong with it mine keeps going into protection mode

Or does anyone know someone who can? Stacer maybe?

Check your wiring? try reconnection. If the problem is still there after u have made sure wires are connected right the problem will be with the amp. Bring it in..

Or if Clint can do it, go for it..

Here is a question then....

My amp has 4 channels... but having it looked at by a electronic techs I happen to know that don't specialize in car stuff found that channel 1 and 3 are putting out less gain then 2 and 4?? Go figure...

Then why did you have it looked at by them then??

Have you checked your balance and fade settings?? Is there distrortion coming from 1 & 3??

No no sorry it wasn't working at all when I gave it to them.... that is what happened after they replaced a part

Do you know what part they replaced?

I employ a couple of propeller heads in the office, do you want them to have a look at it?

i need help with the stereo in my ute. everthing dies when u crank i right up. not sure if the amp is the prob dont know an awful lot bout em. any ideas?

Got a farrad capaciter? Your alternator can't create the charge that your trying to use... So it cuts in and out as the power flatuates.

The amp cutting out could be a couple of things, capacitors are expensive so start with the cheaper stuff, it may be hitting a thermal cut-out, when it cuts out if you can touch it for 5 seconds or so without having to take your hand off because of heat that part should be fine. Also what size power cable are you running? If it is quite thin, it could be the cable being to small. Then look at a capacitor if none of this seems to be a problem.

dont run a capacitor so cant be that

... you need one... is what i was getting at noob.

A capacitor is what you can add to fix the problem. Basically if you can not supply enough current to your amp from the alternator when a long low frequency note plays with the volume turned up it draws a lot of current, sometimes if the amp does not get enough current to produce the noise it will shut down. Putting in a capacitor .5 or 1 farad can fix the problem, they charge when not drawing lots of current and when you draw more current then the alternator can supply they discharge to provide the extra current. But they are not that cheap, I would check that it is not other things before you go out and get one. You should be running at least 8 gague cable to power it. Also check the book that came with the amp to see what can cause it to shut down and start with that.

well i dont know about haydens problem but i have a voltage readout on my distribution block so its not a voltage drop cause u isse just under 14volts with the biggest baas beats, i got a huge battery so i dont need a Cap

Stacer: can i get it looked at to find out what is wrong? what will it cost me just to see whats wrong and get a quote to fix?

like i said dont know much bout em ya tossa

Come on haydie baby... Don't speak like that.

my m8s got 2 amps one RF P8002 and one other for the speakers, b4 the cap went in the sound was real decent and pretty loud, at that point 8 gague to one amp and 4 to the other, the cap is (don't know why he choose it so big) RF CPCC25 16 Volt 25 Farad, with 0 gague to the cap and 4 gague to the amps, when it was put in not only was it noticeably alot louder but it was also crystal F@#KING clear, couldn'tly and still kind of can't get ova wat a BIG difference it made. i've seen ppl stick second batteries to compensate in b4 but caps i've seen have done a better job. my 2 cents

anyone know where the best place is to get it tested/looked at?

Could try Freddy @ Freddy's car installations. His work is good and the price is reasonable. He did all the gauge and stereo installations in my car, cost fuck all...

Ella bring it into the shop, ask for Stacey, quotes r usually $25 for anything from mobiles,rear pro's, cattle prods, traffic lights...lol etc.
Let me know who u are and i'll get it looked at for free.

wicked, ill pull it out and make all the wires safe tomorrow arvo, got thurs arvo off work ill bring it in then lol the shop is just around the corner from where i live too, convienient

My real names luke, ill be the tall guy in the bright orange shirt holding a big assed amp asking to spaek to stacey....

oh yeah if i bring the specs in are they able to test out how much its putting out for me?

Thanks heaps stacey.

Stacer- Yep no worries

wicked see you some time just after lunch tomorrow then...
