Got an old school ZR600 kicker amp mono to 2-kicker 10's.... Amp has the x-over module built in and I have it set to low pass. Phoenix gold amp install kit and pioneer head unit (just a basic install).

PROBLEM--- Getting words coming through the subs! They hit and sound good most of the time but occasionally there are words coming through.

Any help would be great. THX

Oh, I also had this same setup hooked up to 2 solo-baric 12's and this issue was not present then...

 

sounds like the amp same thing happened 2 me with my old setup check the wires and see if any were crossed if not i would take it 2 a local shop n let them tell you whats wrong there a number of reasons that it could happen most shops will take a look at it n tell you whats wrong

 

adjust crossover on amp

 

Look for a setting on your amp called "crossover", "x-over" or "LPF" and adjust to the appropriate setting. Generally, it's 80hz for 12"s and around 60hz-70hz for 15"s. If you don't have this setting, you may be able to find it in your headunit in your sub-out settings.

 

The amp has a removalbe x-over module which i do have set correctly at low-pass. You can not further adjust, just has low-pass, high-pass, and by-pass. Think I am just ganna add an inline x-over before the amp. THX for the help.

 

it's Satan

 

If you are getting words coming through on your subs than your built in crossovers on your amp is going out.

 

most importantly what cd player do you have? do you have a sub output or only front and rear?
