I Am Getting A Dc Offset Error With An Alpine Amplifier.?
I am in the process of installing a 4-channel amp (alpine pdx-4.100) and when i proceeded to test to see if the amp is functional and powering up my receiver displayed this message: "dc offset error protection. " i have no clue what this is or means.the radio is a dnx9960 and i already have a mono amp installed and this error didn 't pop up until this recent install. when i unplug the 4-channel amp everything is fine. i don 't have speakers hooked up yet. i just wanted to make sure the amp was working. do i need to hook it up to speakers to solve the problem? i just need some help before i send this amp back to the store and make sure it 's not something i am doing as opposed to a faulty unit, which is something out of my control.

Why Does My Alpine Amplifier In My Car Keep Turning On And Off?
I have had a system in my truck for close to 2 years, and it has always worked very well (besides a few mishaps with the ground coming loose). the only problem 's that i have experienced have arisen in recent day 's. i have a kenwood deck, alpine amplifier, rockford fosgate capacitor, 2 12 inch kicker cvr 's, and the power chord is i believe 4 gauge if i 'm correct. the system has never had any problems since it was installed (besides the aforementioned), and i am starting to get frustrated with why it will not work. it 's especially annoying because the amp will be off, and i 'll try to troubleshoot stuff, and nothing works. then i get in my car and start driving, and sure enough about 10 minutes later the amplifier turns on again?the following is an overall synopsis of the problems i have been trying to deal with. i pray that somebody out there has an idea as to what is wrong, and can maybe point me in the right direction.so when i turn the car on, i turn on the deck, and the amplifier will turn on signaled by the blue light in the middle of the amplifier itself. the bass will work for about 10 to 15 seconds, and then the bass will shut off, and the music will continue to play. the light on the amp is sometimes on, sometimes it 's off completely, and other times the light is very dim. i have checked the power chord and the fuse is fine, as well as all other fuses on the amp and around etc...i checked the ground wire, and made sure that it was properly attached, but still i get nothing. the subs turn on for a few seconds when i first start the car, and only after it 's been sitting for a while, and then they don 't work at all. the most recent issue is that the amp was on, and the subs were not working.another user said to do away with the capacitor all together, and that 9 times out of 10 that solves the problem, because they 're just a waste. i would really appreciate any help/ guidance on this issue, and for anything else i can try next.thank youthanks for the advice, i just checked the remote wire, and it was fine in the back of the deck, and it was securely attached to the amp....i could literally just get rid of the cap, and it wouldn 't kill my alternator or anything?....only problem is i 'd be unsure as to how to hook up the wires that are all going into and from the cap, directly to the amp?

Alpine Amplifier Question

/////alpine Amplifier Settings?
Here is a list of my equipment....head unit - kdc-mp342uamplifier - mrp-m500subwoofer - 12 " type r (4ohm / wired to 2ohm)enclosure - amazon.com/ gp/ product/ b002e9hanu/ ref= pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p= 486540031 &pf_rd_s= lpo-top-stripe-1 &pf_rd_t= 201 &pf_rd_i= b002e9hal2 &pf_rd_m= atvpdkikx0der &pf_rd_r= 1xed4v046fgwgzpsbntkgauge wire - 4now i listen to some rock music and some rap music. i realize they are two different sounding types of music. i am wondering what would be a good setting for my amplifier. currently i have my gain set all the way up. the bass eq is set to a bit before 1/ 2 way. my lpf is set to 75. there is no distortion in the bass, the amp does not get hot so i am assuming the way i have it configured is safe. now on my head unit, its lfp is set to 80hz, no bass boost setting is on, but my (sw l) setting is 7/ 15. sw-l seems to set how loud the actual woofer is. i can go higher, it does get louder, less punchy and more of a rumble for rap music. i am wondering if anyone with more car audio exprerience what would be your take on this. as i mentioned i listen to two different kinds of music and would like the best settings on my amp (keeping it safe) as i can possibly get.
