Posted May 4, 200817 yr So just got back from college and still having problems with my channel 2 on the amp. The tweeter goes on and off when i drive. It comes back after i shut the headunit off for any given amount of time - could be quick could be long. I checked the connection of the speaker and saw that it was not solid so i replaced the speaker wire and fixed the connection; nevertheless the tweeter still does not play. Any ideas? I have tried the same speaker on channel 1 and it works fine.
May 4, 200817 yr did you change the inputs around.. to check for a bad rca or even a bad H/u?.... take your line inputs and change them and check again
May 4, 200817 yr Author yeah i switched rca's to see if the headunit was providing a signal. Still no sound. I had my dad troubleshoot it with me also and channel two just does not play.
May 4, 200817 yr has the same thing happen to me... wut happened for me was everytime the bass would hit hard my mids and highs would shut off.... recheck all you connections.... i found i had a loose connection. redid it and everything is working pretty smooth
May 4, 200817 yr Author Positive, i switched both inputs and speaker wires for both tweeters. For example, channel two tweeter is the front right tweeter. If i put it on channel 1 that tweeter plays. If i switch the front left tweeter (originally channel 1) to channel two it does not play. Also if i do this same process but instead switch inputs it repeats. Channel 1 input would work but channel 2 wouldn't. Edited May 4, 200817 yr by Smondo17
May 5, 200817 yr If you are having an issue with it that you can't resolve I can take a look. Your manual tells you where to send it and what to include - eg: your invoice from the authorized dealer and a note with your information (address, e-mail, etc). It also helps to send me an e-mail directly so I can reply to that once I get it and check it out - [email protected]
May 5, 200817 yr Author I somehow misplaced the invoice - i bought it from Mark off the forums so not sure how i should go about that
May 5, 200817 yr Mark can probably look it up via the serial number. Shoot him an email[email protected]
May 5, 200817 yr Author Ok so i did some more work and pulled out the headunit and checked all the RCA's. I looks like channel 2 does work as of now. have to see if it continues to cut out during more play, but my question is if there is a short in the line will just one channel go out (like just channel 2)? channels 1,3,4 have never given me any problems and i have yet to see the amp go into protect mode of any sort.
May 5, 200817 yr Sounds like a wiring problem to me. I would reconnect everything and see what happens.
May 5, 200817 yr Author I've tried that many times. Nothing seems to be working for me getting very frustrated, this whole system has been a disaster. Speaker went out again after being on for a little bit. Heat issue? makes no sense, i dont get how sometimes it works and then sometimes it doesn't. Could it be the headunit?
