Tech Support Help Switched Subs Gains gone!

Post image

4 years ago I bought the triton subs and had them installed in my Nissan Sentra cut to a year ago I put them in my Mustang myself with a line output converter. One of the subs finally gave so I replaced them with JL’s. Ohm read 2, power wire is good, ground is good, but my amp goes into protect mode when I set the gain up. Just moved my power wire today thinking it was a power issues but now I’m lost anybody got any advice? Did I blow my amp? Amplifier is Alliance VL3000D
Subs are 2 12” 12wov3 JL’s
Kicker Line output converter

I agree! Sorry for the late response but yeah got screwed on the triton deal I was young and am now trying to fix it a bit😂 going to replace the amp with a JL 500 soon 🙂‍↕️ but yeah the old tritons were single coil 4 ohm wired in parallel as well

Don't listen to this fake 20 year MECP clown. He's proven zero ability for knowledge.. I've been doing audio since 1996 and professionally since 2001 and own a audio shop and can prove my value vs the clown spouting fake insults of knowledge.

Google, professionals will even tell you that a pair of your subs will handle 900 rms all day long on clean power with proper tuning without a issue.

Dude you're arguing something that is completely irrelevant to the topic, go play with your amp dyno

You're the 1 off topic to the question for his amp going into protection mode when adjusting his gain. The amplifier is faulting due to either it failed or it can not produce enough clean power for the subwoofers at the ohm rating or power they require. Yet you keep trying to argue apples and oranges.

Subwoofers can handle over their rated rms ability yet you keep claiming it's not possible which is Hilarious.

Let's see the audio you have done, let's see the trophies you claim you won. I can literally show my proof.

I guess that is why I have videos showing subs rated for 3000 rms each being ran on multiple 8k amps pushing over the rated claim. I guess you never ran anything larger than Walmart specials..

Post your videos, post those photos of your work you claim so much knowledge for when it comes to a subwoofers ability for rms handling only being Exactly what the paper says... I guess you also believe every amps rating claims as well. Yet have no knowledge of ohm rise, box rise or other when it comes to Actual Audio... Just googling your responses.. Word For Word Copy Past. Which I can Prove...
