with this little chart! there is a forumla but i don't remember it off hand i think it is the square of the rms you want times the impedance

lol i have no clue what happened but like i said try the other power and ground wires from the other amp and see if it turns on and if it does then it isn't an amp issue it is a fuse issue at the distro block. and for gosh sakes set your gain correctly at 37volts AC lol!!

no clue but i know when i was playing around wiht my sae1000d amps my gain was pretty damn low and i was pushign around 2000rms at 2ohm lol!

lol ya i guess they could but to use an EQ one would first know how to properly set a gain with a dmm and a 50-60hzz lol now down to the issue at hand if you set your gains to 60volt ac you would be pushing that amp to nearly 2x its rated power which could blow an amp if your amp did blow. plus i bet you would have clipped the hell out of the amp lol

well where else woudl the rca come from if not the h/u (deck) lol!! also 6volt AC = 90rms lol or lower so no

wtf well 60volts AC is nearly 2700rms on a 50-60hz tone and what do you mean "my input is directly from an alpine 9886" do you mean the rca's? i think i just missed something

well if you set it to 60volt AC at 1.33 ohm you amp is outputting around 2700rms EACH but that number is when you set your gains using a 50-60hz tone

lol and what Ohm are you running each amp at?

i was refering to setting your gain via the use of a dmm. 37volts AC on the sub terminals with no sub hooked up.

lol and what did you turn your gains to? 60hz? and if so what didd you set it to 37v ac?

and what is that output signal?

umm your gains are half way that is cool but you should have set them via the dmm

umm isn't 14.4volts at 1500 rms something like 103amps? and your fuse is rated for 100amps?

I haven't tried that yet since its dark out here, and was dark when the amp went down. I'll try that tomorrow...worth a shot o for sure! but why don't you run out there and unplug both yrou pos and neg leads and touch them to the dmm and see what they are reading that way you can elimate if there is an issue with the distro/wiring. then you can narrow it down to either the amp, or rca's or remo err you check the remo and it si 12volts how is your remote wired? one after another or did you do it the right way and use a relay? Its too dark here, and theres minimal space around where I can get to the wires so its a huge pain. I will do it tomorrow during my lunch hour @ work. I dont think the RCA's would cause no power from the power wire... both remote wires are attached to 1 switch to turn on both DB3000s, the directly to the amps. ya other then that i don't know what is up with your amp man. it doesn't make sense to me. so if one amp isn't turning on via remote the toher one will not turn on also right?

also try to tugg on the wire from the ditroblock MAYBE i came out some how or isn't 100% in there

have you tried to put the power and ground wires from the working 3000 to the dead one? and see if somethign happens! and that is good you ahve at least 2 batteries to power 3krms!

okay so what about the other amp then? you said you had 2 ma 3000.1d amps? if your distro block outputs 2-4gauge how are you powering 3amps? and you should be checking the wire not the terminals. jsut pull the wireS out of the terminals and touch the dmm to it and see if it reads what your battery reads!

and bonjour btw!

so that ma amp is like 1500rms at 1ohm i believe corret? and you have a 100amp fuse on it. sholdn't you have something like a 150 maybe more? also you siad you ahve 2 ma 3000's do does your distro block have 3 outputs i assume? also if you aren't geting volts to that amp there must be an issue with the line from the distroblock to the amp or even father up the. .03volts = nothing did you use the dmm on the wire itself or at the terminal?

0.03 volts= no power going into your amp. do you have one long run of wire from the front to the back? or do you have batteries in the trunk?

wow that charger sounds pretty good!! and for 75$ nice deal! i knwo the kinetik one goes for about 100$ and the kinetik has a Reconditioning (Desulfation) which sounds pretty cool! but i will do some looking into this one you suggested and i might jsut end up geting it if shipping to canada is resonable! thanks!

that goes to show u how undercharged they were using stock alt. Using stock alt and only reading 13.1 as soon as alt is shut off is BAD... Either the batts were heavily discharged or the regulator was on the verge of breaking. after i learned that 13.1 = doom that is when i made up my mind to jsut get the upgrade to a h/o! and yes after playing at full tilt i let the car charge up the batteries some to at least 14.1volts before i shut off the car and yes i do believe the batteries were around half way charged but then again i didn't slam my system ALL the time either. next thing for me to buy is a battery charger any thoughts? i am looking at a kinetik battery charger! (sorry to jack your thread for a second)

That's not wise for longevity. Did they change the rectifier, cooling, etc...? If all they did is rewind it like nearly all local shops do then yea, it will do the amperage at max output, but idle will be VERY BAD compared to reputable companies and heat buildup will be worse than having one built from start. o no i got full upgrade of the alt. i knwo a rewind is what he wanted to do and i am like buddy! lol! he changed it all even some other things which i didn't take to memory. and yes i know at idle my alt doesn't seem to be the best but hey it gets my batteries to a steady 14.4-14.6 when my music is at about half way so the h/o definitialy does help out a lot in the charging!

i didn't buy a H/O i got my stock alt upgraded to a h/o!! the upgrade kit costed me 55$ and labor was free! (i know the guy) if you pop into your local starter and alt shop just ask them about upgrading your alt rather then buying a h/o
