Amp Problems

[SoCalExplo]

i just installed 4 infinity kappa speakers on a 4 channel SSL amp (400 Watts) and now my front speakers on channel 1 cut out and channel 2 keeps working at a certain volume level. and i have to turn off the stereo and turn it back on. before i had 4 pioneers. can it be because of the ohm difference the kappas are 2 and the pioneers were 4 ohms. any help can be appreciated

Sounds like the amp is going into protection mode due to the lower ohm load...

ummm
not to sure about the noise. I have the cheapest amp out there. I think it was $69.00 full price and I use it for the back subs and I have the factory amp running all the door speakers

the factory amp is 80 watts and the after market is about 100 watts

my head unit is a premeir from walamrt so you can't get much cheaper and I have no noise issue.


I would check the type of spark plugs and wires you are running. they should be a suppression type wire and plug. most are these days

Try grounding the amp to a factory ground.
