Hello Everyone...

Ive visited the site quite a bit but have just become a member...

At christmas i bought myself the £200 full sound system from car audio centre arrived quite promptly and all in good condition... Been in my mk4 1.3 fiesta for about 6 weeks now and have had no problems..but.. then a couple of days ago the amp kept going into self protection mode for some unknown reason i looked at all my wires they were fine but my amp felt ice cold so i unplugged an took into house to warm up an surely enough took it out warm and worked perfectly...

Then yesterday i went out there doing some odd bits to my car and was listening to music then all of a sudden i had no bass so i turned the volume all the way off and i cud hear the sub going ...thud...thud...thudd but no bass just on its own even if no music is playing...

Now i have checked all the wiring and i cant see any shorts in the wires...
Ive opened the amp to see if a capacitor has blown./... none have blownn..
Ive checked the connections on the sub box inside and out and all seem very good...
all wiring behind my head unit seems fine as the only soldered wire is my remote wire the only other wire is my rca lead and thats fine...


Can anyone help me at all ??

Many Thanks

Dan

sounds like lack of power posibly if you have a second battery try a temp set up using that to run amp and see what happens. and or add an extra earth.

9 times out of 10 amp problems are caused by bad earths, make sure it has i good metal to metal contact. I normally sand away a bit of paint at the point i earth the amp, that should dort it out for you mate.

try the earth but by the sounds of things, the amp is going in and out of protect hence the thud...its hard to say why etc etc without seeing the car unfortunately

i have tried putting a new earth lead and still im getting nothing...
I emailed car audio centre on friday but still yet to reply to me ?.?.
I know have no thud just going into self protection mode... Its the juice 500w amp was working really well until this...

ive checked over all the wires today and they all seem fine like they have had no breaks or that... and have re-made all the connections for my amp incase they wernt gettin good connection so i know i now have good connections all roundthe only soldered lead is my remote and that was re-soldered today...

Im just really not happy that i can have something working great one minute and the next minute its fcuked

any more ideas people ??
