if each sub plays fine separately then there is a wiring issue

just dont go slammin on bass on 1 sub. Twice the volume, lot less power needed to move

i'd say unhook one sub altogether and troubleshoot them separately.

Well, that guy is retarded because 14v batts need over 16.0v for proper operation. Also, i'm curious about your vehicle charging so high in general.. Does it only do it at first start or does it also jump over 15.0v under load? I'd be curious to know because if it likes to jump over 15v during play, it can cause longterm damage to AGM batteries when large current is tied together with that voltage.

Just looking over the manual. The BC2000D can safely accept DC voltage up to 18v. It's making me wonder, if it were voltage related, if Tirefryr is right in that the buildhouse may have accidentally put a safety protect threshold set for 12v amps instead of 18v amps... 12v amps can go in protect between 15.5-16.0v. I would honestly just contact CA and see if they can get you a fixreplacement. You'll be out $~20 in shipping but at least you should get a full working amp back.

We are in the testing for a solution right now, nothing permanent. If everything we said were to be taken permanent, you'd be having one sloppy looking install, hehe.

just for kicks, remove some things that benefit maintaining voltage in the rear to get your voltage down some and see if it helps. If you need help doing that, hehe.. there are many things to create resistance.

where is your stinger meter measuring voltage at? If it's not directly at the amp.. then measure at the amp what dc voltage is. If it comes to be the amp doesn't like 15.1v+, there are ways to positively incorporate safe shitty wiring methods

drain batts? I'm suggesting unplug rcas and speaker wire. With amp on, it will only draw idle current, which is typically less than 3A. With vehicle on, that's nothing.

ok, this is no good! unplug all speaker wires from amp and let it come on and see if it ever protects. this means no rcas and no speaker wires. I would suggest letting it rest overnight(in case thermal problem is an issue too) if it still protects after doing this.

OK.. nobody let Chop know but yesterday we threw a surprise for him! If he finds out.. then we are screwed! lol.. it was great randomly goin up there and hangin out with the IAK crew once again. I don't like to wait for Slamology every year...

i'm assuming you have no bench tester power supply available? We can only narrow down to a certain extent until it looks like you are going to have to start borrowingpurchasing things to test with further assuming this cannot be sent off for warranty service inspection just yet. different RCA cable different amp different headunit I believe we are down to these 3 things right now.

i dont know. u said longest time u've played the amp is 45min.. I'd shoot for 1-2hrs.

Fearz, this won't happen when vol is low, disconnect RCAs and just let amp run for a long time and see if it ever goes into protect. If it doesnt, run a new set of RCAs to headunit.

We are exactly 2 weeks away before all Group Buy orders are final!

ok, 30sec to 45min and not always loud. Do this- Play sound at vol.2, very low volume and see if it ever goes in protect. If it DOES, unplug RCAs and leave amp on and see if it ever goes into protect.

what are you using to read voltage? How long has the amp ever played before protect? when it goes in protect, is it always playing loud? Check ohm load at speaker terminal. Does amp go in protect if headunit is put on pause after a period of time?

typically, this is caused from a disconnected wire so pull the subs and inspect. This is also why i never suggest using terminals on boxes.. Just do passthrough right out the box. Eliminates many problems that have happened to people in the past.

I would say they are comparable to the XP line.

For those that haven't seen this.. it's awesome. This is a full size life-like 3D hologram of Tupac rapping with Snoop- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajVGIRsKXdo

Man, i'm interested now for this coming Friday and Saturday. Get me directions!

That was a lot of firsts in one post, hehe... Did he meter it for you too? First time seeing SPL-Lab as well? Anyways.. I believe you said you weremay be going to Slamology? You don't want to miss it for the world! It will be your dream weekend, I guarantee it.

They do have nice specs but you do not need 4 of them for only 2,000wrms, hehe. These specs are slightly better than Deka 9A31s which is pretty good for an alternative battery. I'd say 1-2 at the most.

when is the next local meetup in indy? I might just so happen to pop up

U don't want copper. Copper oxidizes too quick and protectants and copper Itself is $$$. U want aluminum. I am going to be ordering some aluminum soon to make 16 battery terminals. I'll show you what I can do.. Nothing jaw dropping but interesting nonetheless
