There goes another sub!
Welp.........my other Rockford P1 sub is shot now.......started making noise and kept getting louder. To top it off, I was almost home and my amp stoped working. Im not sure what happened to it, it was working fine, and just quit. Its still hooked to the battery and all.....I thought maybe it went into protect mode, but the light that shows that it is isn't on. Its a lightning audio, and i've had it for about 2 yrs and its been fine. I had just got my new radio in and hooked up a couple days ago, and now this happens. Any ideas on the amp?

about the blown fuses, replace them and try again...if it happens again then idno...get a refund? Where did you place the amp? What gage wire do you have? Check all your wiring again...make sure everything is plugged in correctly
EDIT: wait a minute, I just re-read your original post, you said you had a lightning audio amp correct? And its 2 yrs old correct? I am completely surpised it lasted that long...I've seen those thing blow before for no apparent reason...id say its time for a new amp..i'd go pioneer personally, but there are other good ones out there as well.

I got the lightning audio amp and 2 12" subs as a package for about 125 bucks new a couple years ago. It was a pretty good entry level package, but its just not much bass now. The 12s I have now dont really hit that deep, and theres not much bass. I want to completely redo my system, including a new box that is bigger.

I put new fuses in the amp, and it hasn't blown yet. (only turned it on for a minute or so). And found out the lightning audio sub is the one that is bad b/c it sounded terrible, and there was hardly any bass even though they were both working. I patched up my other P1 sub (it seperated at the foam surrounding), so im going to stick it in when the epoxy stuff dries, and see how it goes then. It feels like my system is held together with band aides. I may end up redoing my whole system......I drove to school today without the amp working, and I miss my bass.

yea......originally, I had 2 Rockford p1s, and then the one I just fixed seperated, so I took the other p1 out one and put my old lightning audio subs in, and then messed up one of those b/c of cliping, then put the other p1 back in, and now my other lightning audio sub is messed up......

I put my other p1 in that I fixed, and then went for a test drive, and I was out for about 5-10 minutes, and it was just fine, so im thinking the sub had something to do with it (which btw was very screwed up). I'll get a pic of it in a minute.
