So, I've added a couple of subs to my OEM head unit. If my line output converter's gains are all the way up, could this contribute to my amp overheating? It's just a hunch, but I'm thinking this could be a reason why my amp overheats.
- amp: Kenwood KAC-9103D, 900x1 at 2 Ohms
- subs: dual Kicker VR8's, 250W RMS, dual voice coil, 4 Ohms
I know I'm overpowering my subs, but my amp goes into to protect mode if I push my subs too hard. If anything I'd expect my subs to go out before my amp. On another note, how much voltage should be sent through the RCA's from the output converter to the inputs of my amp?Line Output converter gains?
The voltage coming out should at maximum equal the voltage that the amp gains are set to. If the amp is marked 100mV to 5V, then that is from 1/10th volts to 5 volts.
You should turn the amp gain and the converter way down. Turn the radio up to about 3/4 maximum. If the volume is too low, slowly turn the amp gain up until it is as loud as you will play it. If it goes all the way up and still isn't loud, turn the converter up until it is. Once it starts distorting, turn back on it a notch.Line Output converter gains?
make shure you'r fan 's are working thay are thaire for that reson .if you have none you need some , if thay are working than you need nuther fan to help keep it cool if it is just the sistem then the interl fan moter hads barnd out or just need's to be replated.
