music tripping out

[danny1]

finally installed all my sounds just have one problem i need a bit of help with. when it was first installed if it was turned up to loud it would blow the fuse so i swapped the fuse for a higher amp trip switch but when it is turned up loud it is still tripping out any help on what the problem may be.

cheers dan.

are you using a a trip switch instead of a fuse now?
a 40A fuse and say a 60A trip with both operate at the same current

are there any fuses on the amp???

are you showing the amp too low an impeadance?

 

[danny1]

yes i am using a trip switch now. no fuses on the amp. what does the impeadence mean? going to up the trip swich to 120 amp will this work as its doin my head in?

 

[Dink]

what size cable are you using?

impeadance is just ac resistance.

what sort of power output is your amp?

 

[danny1]

its big cable the best i could get thats all i know cost a fortune. runnin two amps 1 is a 1000w rms the other is 800w rms. thought it may be a power problem so i put in a diesel battery and a power cap but still no joy.

 

[Dink]

ditch the power cap asap

1800wRMS has got to be a good 175A taking into account effiency losses

as long as its 0 AWG get a 200A ANL fuse

 

[danny1]

where can i get the fuses from?
