Help with amp (Again)

[tech2332 3]

So my amp has been acting up since the day I got it.(Diablo Audio Technologies HellFire 1000.1)

The problem is that it plays for a few minutes after I turn on the truck and goes into "Alarm Mode". (If I restart the truck it will come back on for a few minutes as if it had a clock inside telling the amp to only turn on for a few minutes(3 or 5 min.))

At first the ground was a little loose so I tightened it. It still kept on doing it so I bought some Sandpaper to make a nice, clean ground and it still does it. Can someone help me?

P.S.- As I've mentioned before I did a direct swap with my MTX amp. In fact, the only thing I changed was the ground which is alot better now.

Here are details on my setup

-10" SSA Icon Wired to 2 Ohm

-Ported Box tuned to 34 HZ

2008 Single Cab Silverado

At Amp Voltages

-Voltage 12.6 (Truck Off, Music Off)

-Voltage 14.6 (Truck On, Music Off)

-Voltage stays above 13.2 when amp is hitting hard.

-Amp isn't overheating, nice and cool

Tell me if I missed any additional info.

sounds like you have it wired down too low, what impendance is amp stable to? are absolutely sure you have it wired to your sub properly?

im pretty sure it goes down to 1 ohm

could your speaker terminals be shorting out? you may have gotten a DOA.

I talked to David and he said that some of the first few amps had problems with a few bad resistors on the thermal protection circuit. He said he would be happy to fix or replace it.

Good Customer Service.

Oh I wasnt downing the customer service, just a general rule of thumb when it comes to getting things for free; either you lose it or it breaks. But yeah great customer service, thats why I love these companies that arent that main stream like (rockford or kicker).
