So i am running a Hifonics Brx 1600.1D and this VM Audio 15" and a fosgate P3D4-15 (both 600 rms 1200 peak 4 ohm DVC) in parallel (final impedence of 1 ohm). VM Audio blew but the fosgate did not. Why?

Rock ford under rates there subwoofers/amps. Vm audio over rates there subs an amps much like Pyl lanza pyrami legac Exedra.... A 3000 want Pyle amplifier is actually about 250 Rms a rockford 250 watt amplifier is 250 rms is the same amount of power as the 3000 watt is a lot of companies over right there stuff. The brand is everything an I

I'm using a hifonics zues 3000.1 2009 model it's at 1ohm pushing these subs and I have a little clipping at the high end 80hz above but none at the low end like 65hz and below

From the manual: "This amplifier is not recommended for impedance loads below 2-Ohm stereo/4-Ohm bridged for the front/rear channels and 2-ohmfor the sub channel." I think you may have overheating issues with a 1 Ohm load.

1) is your machine turned on?2) is the volume on the machine turned up?3) is your signal flow correct? (out of machine to in on amp)4) are you using a mono or stereo 1/4"? if so what output did you use?

Amp is actually certified @ 626 watt rms opposed to the 500 it states.. I'm running with a 12" single ported fosgate p3 and so far no overheating as I push max for about 80 mins each day to n from work. Not sure exactly if it is 1 ohm stable but the p3 is dual 4ohm and sounds amazing..although the amp box states 300x1@ 4ohms- 500x1@2ohms given the split it should run at least 800@1 but I'm no amp expert.. Hope this helps.. When all else fails call RF tech sup :)

Hi Paige, We are also using this for a church group but are not experiencing distortion. We occasionally experience some hissing and popping, which is related to batteries beginning to go bad; usually they last about a month with 2-3 hours per week of use. Also, line of sight helps between the mics and the receiver antennas. On stage is preferrable, if the receiver is in the back of the house try to get it up high; human bodies are mostly water and absorb radio signals better than allowing them to pass through. This would be more of a hiss/pop issue, as well, not really distortion. As for the distortion, are you using the "mix" output (XLR) or the four individual 1/4" connectors for output? Both are at line level (+4dB), not mic level (-10dB). If you're using the XLR mix output, make sure the input on your sound board is set to line level, if you can make that adjustment; if not, a quick trip to a live sound store (music or stage) can get you a 20dB XLR pad to reduce the level. In a pinch, you can try turning the knobs on the front of the unit to about half-way and see if that reduces the distortion. If you're using the four separate 1/4" outputs, same applies-they're line level outputs, your sound board should have a switch to select +4/-10, set it to +4; if not, four 20dB 1/4" pads should do the trick. Hope something in this post helps. :-)

I used to have a pair of fosgate p3's a few years back. I purchased one of these and put it in a ported box with the cuft recommended by sundown and it slaps HARDER than my old p3's. Just make sure you put it in the right size box tuned to the sundown audios specs. I'm running on of these on ~540w RMS and I couldn't be happier.

I have 2 of the dual voice coils wired in parallel, giving an effective 1 ohm impedance. I am driving the speakers with a Kicker 1000 watt amp. The speakers handlethe power without cooking. Distortion of the audio signal is usually what causes a speaker to blow.

Well first check you input gain but on mine the meter suddenly maxed out then dropped to nothing and hasn't worked since. That was on the first day of use.However, everything else works as it should (if a little noisy, it's not the quietest pre-amp). Since my interface has either all phantom power on or off I use the preamp for using both condenser and dynamic mics together. I don't think pinned in the red is normal.

failing to match impedance causes the signal to be reflected back - heating output amp. So use low power and all is well, Or add a 4 ohm resistor to match and this problem goes away - low volume. Better yet use an 8 ohm speaker.

According to the manufacturers page, it would be 670w @ 4ohms (http://poweracoustik.com/store/products/amplifiers/crypt/cpt1-2000.html) However.. I would strongly recommend STAYING FAR AWAY FROM THESE AMPS!! They're complete junk. They don't put out the rated watts and will overheat if you actually use them at 2ohm.. which you absolutely should be. Spend just a few dollars more and get at least a Maxxsonics product (HiFonics, MB Quart). You could pick up a HiFonics unit for $100 more that would run circles around this amp and you could easily put it to 2ohms and get 1300w RMS out of it no problem.. http://www.amazon.com/Hifonics-Hfi2000d-Watt-Block-Amplifier/dp/B003PSAQXA/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1397131281&sr=1-1&keywords=hifonics+2000w+mono

I'm running 2 8ohm speakers in parallel on each side and it's doing well . hope that helps

They are the same output and quality the 4 ohm is more common. Check compatibility with your amp and go from there

I use High Performance OFC connecting cables-2 TRS on one side the other XLR's which I made up! Guitar cables are Great! Your ears will pick up the Difference..I connect the XLR's to a power amp then out into the Virtualizer pro DSP2024P-Preset settings on the Virtualizer: I:O73 TUBE AMP! This Creates a Giant Stereo Smack with Clarity = MID BASS & TREBLE & the Levels are Way up to 0.5db & of coarse the CD recorder to lift the Levels to that Mark. I hope this was helpful to complete your Music Workmenship, God Bless ya Bruce & have a Great Week.

HI I am not sure what are you asking me, beacuse I am not know too much technical stuff, if you explain to me I will be glad to help you, but, as far as this item, works excellent, sound pretty good, and I am not see any voltage fluctuations.

I didn't keep my VM speakers. There was a problem with them right out of the box. If you really want some good speakers for about the same money, get you some Creative Inspire T3300 speakers. You'll forget all about VM after that!

I agree with Archie Leach. I would also like to point out, probably just bad luck, but I've had issues with the VIP 3 cutting out on me randomly where the volume suddenly drops, whatever effects are being used then drop, and then it cuts out completely.. I haven't had anyone look at it, but this has been the behavior since day 1 about 8 months ago when I bought the amp. I suspect it got bounced around during shipping, but figured I'd mention it. Maybe others have experienced the same issue. Eventually, I'll have an authorized shop take a look at it. I do like the presets, and for now, I'm using a Marshall MG102CFX but miss the presets that come with the VIP 3 I agree with Archie Leach.
