hey i dont know whats wrong with my system, my amp gets really hot when the car is on and the ground wire gets hot too, when i was driving one day the subs just turned off and i pulled over and the amp was really hot.

 

what load are you running the amp at? Please go more in to depth about your system. What does it consitest of ?

 

Sounds like a blown amp without a fuse on the power wire, or a blown amp on too thin wiring.

x2 What size wiring? What size fuse?

 

Some type of short maby? I agree that the amp is probably shorted out.

 

yea, i just tested the amp on my friends car and it doesnt work. so its probably blown

 

Maybe if you post what you are running we could see what caused it. or avoid anthor problem. Just a ideal.

 

You check the fuses?

tell use what ur running, thatll help us a lot!

 

Whats causing it, is a blown power supply in the amplifier. The transistors are probably partially shorted which is why the fuse doesn't blow.

This is probably one of the most common failures in an amplifier. Usually caused by over heating or just age.

If you want to sell the amp send me an IM.

Think of a transistor as kind of a relay/resistor. You apply a voltage to the "gate" of the transistor. This allows current to flow from the drain-source. Now vary the gate voltage and you vary the amount of current flowing from drain to source. This is where the resistor analogy comes into play. You are changing the impedence between the drain and source.

Over simplified obviously but should help most of you understand.

 

how much you willing to pay for the amp? its a MA Audio M683ix 800w 2 channel, i had 2 12" kicker cvr hooked up to it.

 

there is still power to the amp
