zx2500 going into protect

[mazzasec 0]

Well I was driving around my area full tilt today no problems. But when i took my 20 min drive to work after about 15 min of playing full tilt it starts going into protect. Only when its loud though. Anyone know what could be the problem? I double checked all my wiring im pretty sure its all right the fact that it only goes into protect at the loudest volume. My thinkings are though

Could my rca's put out a bad signal?

I am only running 4g to my ground could that not be effecient enough?

I dont have my wired fused coming off the second battery but the distance is very short could that be the problem?

Also earlier i did accidently put the power wire into the ground input slot.

I cant figure out whys its doing this. If my wiring was bad wouldnt mess up at low volumes to? It only goes into protect whens its up just about all the way. But not full on protect just the green kinda fades into the red then back to green then fades into red

check your subs... make sure all the wires are still hooked up... .to me it sounds like perhaps its below the ohm threshold.

your ground is not bif enough imo

and its never good to wire it ass backwerds.... but i have done it...

I am pretty sure the subs are fine. Full listening volume for me is 29/34 thats when it goes into protect but when i drop it down to 25/34 its fine and its still pretty damn loud at 25. Ya i ran out of 1/0 gauge. Think the 4 gauge could be the problem? and what you mean wired backwards?

+ into the -.....

whats your gain like do you think your clipping

You said in your ssa build that you accidentally wired the (+) (-) backwards, resulting in a spark and some smoke... I hope your amplifier is ok.

i did it once... a spark.. no smoke... but then again.. i didnt have the - hooked up.. so it was just power in the wrong slot...

But ya but wouldnt that have an effect on low volumes to? This is only at high volumes gains set about 1/4 the way. It plays 25/34 just fine and thats still pretty loud its just when i got to 29/34 which is the max listening volume it goes into protect

sure it would.... .wheres your bass boost.

barly even up a notch

Did you just turn the knobs when you set your gain or did you do it properly with a DMM or oscilloscope?

The 4awg ground needs to be fixed ASAP. Start fixing things you know are incorrect. Add a second run of 4awg while you wait for more 1/0awg.

I dont have a dmm or oscilioscope. I am gonna put some 1/0 gauge in today. We will see from there

[jonbearsmt 919]

knock that bass boost down too...... and what are your setting on your h/u.....

after long hard day of installing and uninstalling and installing i think i have found the problem! I had no fuse up under the hood. Had a fuse holder but forgot to put the fuse back in. so the whole time the zx2500 was just being power by the kinetik 2400 in the rear. With no charging or anything. I just through the fuse in up front and gonna let it charge up. The kinetik was resting at like 11.5

glad you found the problem

[johnecon2001 82]

LOL that's awesome.

wow you could have really smoked that amp

Is this the same amp that is for sale? 9.9 cosmetically 10/10 mechanically?

Yes it is I had found my problem.

lol.... forgetting a fuse did not shorten the life of this amp at all...... its either he did or did not burn the amp up... ... he says he didnt
