Question about Rockford Fosgate Power 1000BD Car Audio Amplifier

Amp overheating My Rockford Fosgate amp overheats all the time. If my car sits in the sun for any period of time, it will not work until it cools down. I had my amp mounted to the back of my sub box, but now it is to the side of the box. I thought this may give it more air; however, it did not work. It will even overheat during winter if I turn my stereo up. Does this sound like it is only overheating, or is there another problem? Should I mount the amp somewhere else?

You could just have a simple idling bias or dc balance alighnment thats needs attention. Always take care of the smaller problems before they grow as this problem could grow to where it pops your outputs , your speakers or the drivers. Try this before sending it in. 480-967-3565 Good Luck

P3001 problem

if amp is mounted to back of the box try and move to in front of box near subs or port. the air movement of the sub will help keep the amp cooled. or you can orer some 12v cooling fans and take back plate of the amp and cool it that way. or you can buy higher quality audio, your choice

Quick question, amp problem

make sure you ground wires arent shared, meaning run each ground wire from each amp to its own grounding point

Replacing Ground Wire I am going to replace the ground wire for my amp, and the factory manual recommends a 4 Gauge but I noticed that the person who installed my system,which includes another fosgate amp (700x for speakers), used an 8 Gauge ground. What would be the reason for this, and should I just replace it with another 8gauge instead of a 4? Also, there is a hiss, or high pitched hum, that comes from the amp. What would cause that? **I drive a '97 Ford Explorer

my rockford power 1000bd is not pushing my sub at all. though the badge light comes on and rca input and out put work there is no response from the subs when hooked up. the amp stays on and does not show any signs of damage nor does it smell or look burnt when i took off the panel on bottom. i did not pull the circuit boards from the anti corrosive grease at all but am thinking about it. looking for some good advice to keep my oldschool amp running my hx2. thanks
