    Power for an Ava 15

    don't know what the kx1200.1 does, but if it does what the name implies you'll be fine. I ran my ava15 off an orion1200d and they were quite happy together

    ZOMG! A Build Log!

    oh, i understand now
  10. Ok so i started the real troubleshooting today. Problem is fixed, i'll describe what i did for anyone that might have the same problem (don't get your hopes up) started by turning off all the preouts on the HU except the driver's tweet. Then made sure that the rca's were labeled correctly (by plugging into the belle). They were labeled correctly, so i plugged the passenger off and moved on. Did the same with the mids, they were correct. Go back to the HU and start turning on pre-outs. The mids were both correct. The pass tweet never came on though, turns out i've unplugged it while installing it (tested speaker leads at amp, open circuit) Now the noise problems are all gone, everything working fine, i did notice a small increase in preout voltage, but nothing big. So the problem is one of two things, #1 the wire that came loose on the tweeter is grounding out (still gotta pull it and fix it) #2 something is messed up with the HU or BLA sub outs, could be something blown or labeled wrong, doesnt' matter since i don't care to run my sub balanced anyway. but it started raining on me so i'm inside now.

    Oh yea, if anyone has a low level HU for sale let me know. The eclipse(car) will need speakers and a cd player, i might eventually put a crappy component set in but for now just something that'll play a CD.
  13. From what I've read the voltage doesn't change if you use the BLA, the actual adapter sees 16V but it converts it back down to 8V to the amp. I think ryan is right about the phasing issue, i'm going to rip out the HU today and check all the wires in the back, make sure everything is labeled correctly and go from there. I'm just hoping i left enough slack in the RCAs to pull the HU out :-D

    Welcome to the IHoP

    i gotta find time to get the DMM on the BLA and make sure my inputs are all done correctly. with 6 sets of RCAs going into it, the odds that something is wrong are pretty good

    Welcome to the IHoP

    i know what you mean about the psychology bullchit but i've entertained going as well. I'm just kinda curious to see what they'd say about me. overall it sounds like you need one hell of a vacation

    Welcome to the IHoP

    i will be buying a 93 eclipse 1.8l with 155k on it tomorrow or the next day for $350, runs great, needs a little work, gonna be a beater car for the rents. i love college town car deals
  21. eh the amp still sees a max of 8V, they have to have balanced input to see 16V I'm still determined to weed this problem out, not even cause i need the BLA, but because thats how i roll :-D
  22. but but but balanced i get 16V :-D who needs a line driver
  23. I do have some noise issues though i'm 90% sure it'll be taken care of when i actually mount the amp and redo my ground. I'm using it cause..i had it, got it with the HU. When i was running the system without the BLA it was fine. Also the BLA changes the output back to unbalanced (so essentially it's balanced from the HU to where ever you mount the BLA) Did not make my own cables.
