My entire system was installed by a person @ tweeter... got 2 12" mtx's, a zx750 kicker amp, pioneer deck... my amp usually functions very well.. recently it has been cutting out my subs and flickering on an off from green to red (protection) ... could the amp be drowning my subs? ... subs are running 900 rms .. amp is 750 wattage.. only had this problem once in the past, but now it is occurring more often... idk what to do
For 1 the amp is no where close to strong enough for the subs and 2 if the amp is mounted on the box it is vibrating the electronics loose. you always want the amps rms power to be be about 25% more than the speakers rms rating, from the sound of it you are either undriving the amp (clipping) or running the amp at 1 ohm load which is making it burn up. if the amp gets hot (which class d amps should never ever do) then try running just 1 sub. if the problem goes away then you know the amp is not enough for the subs. try a hifonics amp you will be amazed at the quality and power difference. I sell all major brands cheaper than almost anywhere. let me know the exact model of the subs and i can recommend a better amp for you.
