zeitgeist57 Posted May 25, 2003 Report Share Posted May 25, 2003 My friend has a new 12" sub in his Accord, but he's using an old Rockford Fosgate amp and the bass sounds like it keeps cutting out. Any help here? [ 26. May 2003, 12:01 AM: Message edited by: zeitgeist57 ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted May 25, 2003 Report Share Posted May 25, 2003 well, most rockford amps are not 2 ohm mono stable, so make sure that's not it. But if you're running a single sub, it's most likely 4 or 8 ohm. Check to see if it's 8 ohm. That may be too much electrical resistance, and it's not flowing enough current. (guess) Check to see if any of the RCA cables or the connectors that the RCA's connect to are loose. What is the voltage on the Pre-amp out? Is the signal sufficient enough for amp? And lastly, try unbridging the amp. Just run the sub off one channel. maybe one of the channels has fried in the amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mudbutt Posted May 25, 2003 Report Share Posted May 25, 2003 is the "bass" knob on that amp up? the punchbass is basicly a narrow Q eq around 40hz, so if that is turned up, bass in that "sweet spot" can be up to 10(?)db higher than the rest of the scale.....Also, what are the settings on the deck at, how much airspace is the enclosure, and which direction is the enclosure firing? you can PM me or shoot me an IM at abustiffy.
