need amp help 4 channel

[racedriverpro]

Bad experience with the nano series. The white one and PP is the same amp basically which seems to have an over heating problem...burning resistors. SS and PP are a waste in my book.

I have a four channel rockford t1000.4ad amp. It is a class ad. The amp is damaged and when it is playing I am only hearing a static type sound from the speakers.
I am using morel tempo components in front. tempo coaxials in the back doors and a sundown sa12 sub. All have been running off the rockford.The head unit is the pioneer 80prs.

Can you recommend anyone who might be able to repair this amp ?

Also, the amp was placed under the passenger seat and tended to get hot so not sure if this was the problem cause.

Thanks

now passed at a music store and saw the soundstream reference nano amps its blue with a gold thing on top...the size is perfect for under the seat and the 600.4 is the power that will be good too...if that 4 channel could work with the le series dd and the coaxials i will just go with that one amp and done the whole thing

maybe u didnt notice i also have that in my shop too , there is 600.4 , 650 mono , 5 chan too

about 2yrs ago i decided to carry it based on reviews from a very respected installer who uses it in installs & he said he never got any problems with them , but he recommends using a fan or 2 on ANY amp\s installed under seats or areas with poor air circulation


i have a small neat mtx 4chan & mono [each is around 6.5x11"] that sounds & works really well but obviously will need a bigger budget , around mid 3k ...

I will like to believe mini amps will need better coolibg than normal amps because of how compact they are.
People whom have been having failures, do they have cooling? Under the seat is hard to get air circulated.

Seen guys abroad using the sound stream minis and have good reviews.

saw some reviews on the picasso nano amps from soundstream and all are pretty good...it is a high rated amp online and most say with coolings its better and to separate the amps also like different amp for midrange and mono one channel for bass...think i would just order them online and buy the speakers in trinidad

[nervewrecker]

Why is it better to separate the amps?

from what I've been told is that it would just put less pressure on the amps instaed of doing an all in one

[nervewrecker]

well at sea level everything exposed to roughly 14.7psi so pressure....?

im just taking advice from small reads on the internet.....i think id just save up my money and buy something good like phoenix gold , ct sounds , kicker ,etc instead of rushing and buying crap...for now id get my 600 series dd's 8" and get a good box also and other speakers that i need

there isnt any 1 single perfect rule to follow but for "normal" daily use systems u normally start with choosing bass 1st , unless ur a sq purist where ur front stage will play 90% of ur music & bass is really subtle to fill in d freqs ur front speakers cant do efficiently


for daily use - ur chosen level of bass , listening habits , if u listening IN car or OUT of car & type of music u mostly play shud determine d rest , meaning whether its car speakers [coax,comps,midrange made for cars] , dj made loudspeakers , tweeters or even drivers , head unit &\or additional processing

some ppl like "barking mids" with a lil bass , "50-50" or if ur like me : 1k on bass with enclosure tuned in d 20s & 1 pair of comps even off deck power & i good

so its all up to u & ur budget ...

I have been using a 5 channel some time now in my daily ride. Does not disappoint in any way.

There is a dude selling some alpine pdx amps reasonable on the forum. Can look into the 4 channel, RIPS is an advantage in my book.

I like how this sounding....I don't want any park up an play music just a loud clean personal system for a good price ntn to kill me as my budget not too big

[Sully]

A five channel amplifier is your best bet. I'm sure that you can find options out there to suit your budget. Unfortunately I don't have anything that falls within your budget.

You only put strain on the amplifiers if you're running it full tilt, however this is NOT a good way to use the amplifiers if you want good clean sound. Leave head room, ie. only use ~75% of what the amplifier is rated for, 50% is ideal. This helps with distortion as well as cooling.

after checking around for a nice 5 channel i think this will be my choice...good power and from what i see in the reviews its a great amp and its not big at all

NVX JAD900.5

[nismo1325]

Offshore marketing could link u with the nvx... Every single one of those little beasts perform well and barely gets warm when u push em.. Had a jad 4 chan an it impressed

just called him and he say he will be able to help me out but i think id make a visit and check and see what i can get based on the size i have for the amps

[nismo1325]

so just an update....went and saw and highly considering the tarantula nano soundstream and the nvx 900.5 also got a demo of the ds18 midrange speakers and it is sooo clean it sounds well when compared to beyma and faital pro......also went to JDM players in south and i think its my first and last visit...the staff was really rude and they was like if you not buying anything just get out..i told them i came to check out stuff and when i say that they just left...no information no prices no anything

[nervewrecker]

Most likely they will have your thread deleted or edited for calling their name.

But same people you talking about, never hear of any equipment purchased from them working for long.

After the treatment that is no problem if they delte the tread at least I had to leave a review of the place
