Alpine amp help, keeps shutting itself down duw to excessive current how do i stop this or eliminate this problem or what can cause this?



Thank you for any help done some searching but didnt find any thing.

A number of things can be causing this problem. The first one would be if the impedence of the driver is too low for the amp. The alpine should be able to handle a load of 2 ohms, now if you have a dual 2ohm voice coil driver but in parallel it will bring it down to just 1ohm which would cause over current. Another reason could be the speaker cable may be shorting on the chassis which amps do not like. If you have multi meters you can test the resistance of the driver and any shorts to chassis.

**Make sure u havea good and short earth wire.... My guess it will be a ohms issue.. what have u got hooked up to the AMP and what model?

Hey sorry for not getting back to this. but yer it was a short to one of the subs, sub was rubbing on the wire and shorted it, now i just need a new box as the old one has fallen apart from the Vibrations.

I was pretty close in my diagnosis.... Glad you found and fixed the problem.
