I bought the amp January 5th 2007 but didn't get to install it until a couple days ago. So it is like it was new, having never been installed. It's the SAX 100.4. I bought it during the presale. I hooked the RCA up directly to the 4th channel input and there was still no output on the 4th channel speaker outs. So, it just says "SAX-100.4" on the bottom with no small letter afterwards ? That is the first one in the first revision I've heard of with a bad channel - but it is possible. E-Mail me at [email protected] for information about warranty. Correct, no letters after the 100.4. I sent you an e-mail. Just let me know what I need to do. Thanks, I appreciate it.

I hooked the RCA up directly to the 4th channel input and there was still no output on the 4th channel speaker outs.

So I hooked up my 100.4. I'm running 4 10 inch RE re's. I ran the subout rcas to the channels 1 and 2 and then ran 3 and 4 off the line outs. I'm using a dmm to tune the amp so I first put the 80hz 0db tone on at a low volume to set my low pass. speakers not hooked up and get all the way down. i stuck the dmm into the pos and neg of the channels 1 and 2 as if bridged. I got a reading of like .725V AC max and turned the low pass knob down until it started to change and figured that must be set at 80hz then. next I read each channel just to compare. they were .36 and .349V. That's fine. I then went on to do channels 3 and 4. It said like .2 something and so I thought the low pass was just at like 40hz or something... but it was still at as high of a frequency as it goes. Thats when I tried testing channel 3 and 4 separately and noticed that channel 3 was at like .2 somehting and the fourth channel was at like .03V. So the 4th channel isn't doing anything. Have you ever heard of this happening with this amp before? I hope I just overlooked something but I don't think I did. BTW, I tried switching the RCAs that went from the line out to the 3 and 4 to see if one of them was bad and it was still channel 4 that was messed up so that's not it. Any ideas? Thanks.

Wow thats really smart. I can't believe that didn't even cross my mind. I don't know if I have another rca laying around but I'll go look. thanks a lot!

Do you need to have all 4 channels for the 100.4 when bridged? reason i ask is I'm using it as 320 x 2 at 4 ohms for subs which i only have 2 channels of RCAs and I don't want to have to buy Y splitters if I don't have to. If so would you use channels 1 and 2 or 1 and 3 or what? thanks guys. -Trevor

okay thats cool ben. although i know one its VC is rubbing. a new basket and maybe a new Vc should do for that one. the other may be totally fine. thats BS how they only gave you 110$. and im not really expecting to have my mags installed before the end of summer. im going to focus on making money to redo my whole system rather than trying to half ass it. i want everything to be perfect. im starting witht he electrical system. then new HU, processing, components, amps and finally get those monsters bangin.

oh, and make sure you get good components up front. no speakers are really necessary for the rear. maybe an eq or something. i like audiocontrol.

yup, many people are havign problems with the glide touch. with the new products fomr alpine and eclipse, i steered awya and am now looking at a pioneer 7600 dvd. that will brake me though lol.

im sure what nick reccomends at 28hz tune will go VERY low. i cant wait to see how right i am... btw anyone wanna loan me a few Gs?

if you cannot get them directly form nick i'll vouch that showrides is an A+ dealer. to be honest, id support the dealer just for that reason alone, to support the dealer. btw ben, did you ever get the money from fedex? they have yet to pick them up... is there any deadline that says if they dont pick them up by it they cant take them from me anymore? because id love to take it apart

wow. lol. i dont thinkyou can go ported though. you'll need about a 20cuft gross enclosure. if you walled them right behind your head maybe. i love your choice of amps. do you know how much they cost? make sure you get like twin 300A alts lol.

youd want to tune at 0db recording too btw...

if i wasnt so caught up in school i would. but i just dont have the time right now. i working on a fiberglass enclosure, amp rack, and a fiberglass dash right now so im all booked up, sorry

showrides is a great dealer. dont hessitate buying from him. just pray the shipping company doesnt play basketball with your package. but showrides will do w/e it takes to satisfy a customer.

well im using a dmm to tune the amp, i cant just keep giving it more and more gain. the dmm tells me its putting out 1000w rms. i havent used the clamp meter yet to use AxV=W yet. i'll do that tomorrow, too. but today, im too busy. also i am hooking up an eDnine.1 to it tomrrow. i'll see if its the amp. i'll let ya guys know how it goes tomorrow. thanks!
