    blown amp

    i had the same problem for awhile with my merlin md41, and i poked around with a DMM and found it was the fuse. i looked at the fuse and couldnt see much wrong. it was a hairline fracture on the fuse that messed everything up, my guess is check that first.

    voltage

    i have a 2001 honda accord. and ya i will get it checked out. i just got out of servicing it, and im surprised that they didnt check that out as well. thanks for your help. i have a ax1000de and a merlin MD41 and im pretty sure that they will take up to 16.5volts, or higher im not sure.

    voltage

    ok so i talked to my friend and hes getting around 13.5 volts to everything in his car. i thought i was only getting about 14, but when i checked it with my DMM im getting something steady between 17.2 and 18.6 is this overkill or is that good?

    us amps website

    im not to fond of the site either. i think they should lose some of the flashy stuff, and get more specs on the amps, and some much better navigation. i hate having to wait 30 seconds every time that i want to see an amp, but i do love us amps thats for sure.
  6. ok i just got a new 9855 with 4 volt preouts and a used merlin m41 from flakko, and i go the 9855 to work, but when i hook up the amplifier, nothing, not even the power or protect light came on, but then today outta nowhere when i turn on the car, i hear this semi loud click noise, and the amp turned on and i could listen to music, but wasn't very loud, even at 20 volume. it then proceeded to shut off again, and now has no music coming from the speakers, and the amp's lights (power/protect) are off as well. i had this same problem with the last amp i had, before. and im sure when i put that one in it will have the same problem. anyone have any ideas? and i have speakers in my rear deck that are connected via the h/u, and they dont play either. answers, suggestions, comments.

    amplifier not working

    ya I AM A check all that tomorrow when i get off of work. the remote lead is a prbable cause, we just twisted and electrical tape. I AM A solder it all together then use a solderless crimp terminal to get all three wires. and if that doesnt work, then its either the power wire, or the amp itself, but my guess is the power wire.

    amplifier not working

    the power or the protect light would still be on if it was the h/u though wouldnt it?

    amplifier not working

    ok so i got the back speakers to work and i tried the amp on my other wires for the sub amp. still nothing. where gunna check all the wiring sometime this week probably with a DMM and ill post the results and see what's going on with everything. i hope its just wiring...
  12. ok i just got a alpine cda9855, and the preouts say 4 volts. i am going to be using a us amps ax1000de and a us amps merlin md41, and the input gain on the ax1000de is 150mV to 3 volts. and the md41 i dont have the manual on. so my question is. will a 4 volt preout work with this amp, and if anybody knows if it will work with the merlin as well. also what exactly will the difference be between 2 volt preouts and 4 volt preouts. becuase im pretty sure 4 volt is better. thanks

    preout voltage

    ya but i dont really have the money right now for even a decent eq, i will in the future though, and when that happens i will need it. i got this on the cheap and sold my old 9851 for a good price, ended up only costing me a net total of just over 30 for this one.
  14. tsealsut2010

    preout voltage

    i really dont needa listen to the music louder than 23 anyway so im not to worried. ive had a 9851 for about a year or so n i liked it alot. i just want the mx, and a display that is more readable. so im not to worried about that.

    ax1000de question

    i just got an AX1000de, i dont see any internal fuses so im guessing that im going to have to do an external fuse for it. my guess is a 100 amp fuse . do any of yall have any input on placement of the fuse, the fuse size, and where i could get one, and a fuse holder for a reasonable price. thanks
  17. tsealsut2010

    ax1000de question

    ok it says in the manuel 100 amp fuse externally. hard to find though. its tiny in the booklet. well where should i place the fuse and fuse holder is what im asking now. and where is a good place to get them

    best sql vehicle

    alright i have a 2001 honda accord coupe, and am looking into buying a new ride. im not sure whether to be looking into another trunk installation, SUV, or hatch. I have a diamond audio d915d2, a us amps AX1000de amp, alphasonik components with a us amp merlin md41 powering them. i am looking for basically a realiable wehicle that will be the best for a LSQ system. looking to pay around $20k or less, or if i should stick with the car i have now. dont have an enclosure yet, but will build for respective car. (if keeping the accord i will be making a fiberglass corner enclosure), and i may also be doing this for any other car i may purchase. something sporty, and that looks good, i was looking at a supra, but knows. thanks

    diamond audio d915d2

    ok im in a dilemma, i am trying to figure out which box to use for a d915d2 being powered by a US AMPS ax1000de at 1 ohm. I have run some figures and made some graphs using WIN isd and have them for you to look at. i am going for the best SQ but spl is an issue to. i do like to thump. if anyone can help me analyse this information and decide which enclosure you believe to be best for me (vented, or sealed). the went will be a square 3x16x39, and will be following these specifications http://www.diamondaudio.com/products/pdfs/...Vented%2005.pdf it is already facotred in on the graphs and the other specs are here http://www.diamondaudio.com/products/pdfs/...ch%20Sheet2.pdf the pics should be up soon.
