    We went to raon last week and bought a new Raon Ampli, "alpine daw" pero working naman cya! my car is a Lancer box type named PEGASUS! My sound set up is, ALPINE (daw) 2500w 2channel ampli, running on two 200watts 10" woofer, two 40watts mids, two 50watts tweeter. Naka dual dividing network na sila. Naka recta sa batt ung amps pero may switch at fuse naman. The problem is, kung off ang engine, no problem kahet mag sounds ako magdamag. And i can still start the car the very next day. Kahet nga naka-on ang engine eh, basta hindi moving ang kotse. But kung umandar na eh after ten to fifteen minutes eh mamamatay na ung amps ko. The solution is turning off the ampli switch and turning it on back again after a few minutes, ok na ulet ung amps at boom2x na ulet. After five minutes patay ulet. Alam kong walang problema sa tuner kase patuloy track time nya. What am I going to do? Help me please...

    try checking the voltage of your car DC system. there might be a problem with your DC regulator that while you're revving your engine your amp is recieving more than the rated dc voltage kaya nag cut-off siya. DC supply for the amp should only be 12 to 13.8 volts dc in most instance.

    Check the capacity of your amps and the drivers (speakers that it powers). Most probably under-powered yung drivers mo IMO.

    I suggest that you check out the KotseAudioClub forum. Most members there can enlighten you on this.

    agree. baka mababa yung output limit ng speakers mo.
    nangyari din sa akin to eh. when i upgraded my speakers to a higher output one, nawala yung problem.

    tawag dyan protected mode... amps shut down when either one of two things occur... 1 is too much heat, the other one is not enough power going into the amp.

    btw, tama ba yung nabasa ko, your using a 2-ch V12 amp and your powering 2 subs and a set of 2-ch seps?

    you should have bought a 4-ch amp and use chs 1 and 2 for the seps while bridging chs 3 and 4 to power the subs

    Did you hook up TWO 4ohm subs to a bridged channel?

    Yup patay amps mo diyan... better to use one sub per channel depending on the specs of you sub.

    BTW, hindi original Alphine yan, its probobly a China made V12 amplifier.

    a v12 500w amp 2 ch from raon wont suffice to run all your speakers, subs, and tweeters. it would burden and overload ur amp, thats why it heats up fast, then it would shutdown automatically as a safety mechanism, and then when it cools around 5 to 10min it will work again, i think thats the scenario.

    i suggest u use two amplifiers, if ur using v12 the watts PMPO max isnt the real wattage its much lower, so the rule of thumb is get the highest u can get mybe 2000, 3000, 4000watts, one amp should be dedicated to one sub. to maximize the power, lets say 1300w sub, or a pair of subs, u dedicate it because the settings would be different it will be all base... low freq, next u use another amp mainly for ur speakers, if u r using separates with built in amp u may not need this, if coax speakers use this, to power ur mids, amd tweeters, mybe ur old amp may be useful for the speakers, then check ur wirings, its grounding, to the battery, and ur alternator if it can produce enough power or get a larger alternator.

    i think an additional high powered amp will solve this. use either a 4ch amp or the mono amp (better).

PLS Help,with my new raon alpine ampli
