Jl e6450 overheat - Jl Audio E6450 Car Audio Amplifier

Amps that big are usually fused on the feed wire, under the hood of the car, near the battery.

It could be a number of things? 1 to many subs, speakers wired to the amp causing it to overheat and making the thermal light come on. 2 It all depends were your amp is. If it's clear and nothing covering it, obstructing it, Ie sub in front of it, amp inbetween the rear seats and sub.

This sounds like alternator whine. Do you have the power and ground connected to your battery, or through the accessory power? Make sure the power and ground wires are sufficient size, and connected to your battery, and make sure you have the power wire fused no more than a foot or two from the battery. If it is only on the right channely, maybe this wire is getting feedback from another wire. Seperate the wires if this is the case.

Wires create magnetic fields, and if a speaker wire is next to a power wire or something, you will hear a noise, typically high pitched whining.

you have your sub wired incorrectly. your amp shouldn't get hot unless you're settings are too high or your'e sending too small of an ohm load to the amp. this would cause it to heat up and will fry your amp.

Something is shorted most likely. Check the wiring to your speakers. Check especially for stray strands of wire where the speaker wire connects at the amp and speakers.

Hi

Check ur wiring and it wil surely solve your problem

also after repairing unless it's done by a true professional normal solder will not work.. it doesn't flex as well as it does from factory, and it's very hard to extend tinsle lead length, I would suggest returning to original store for swap or return to JL for swap.. (or get new ones.... not JL :) )

Sounds like it should be an easy task (fitting the sub), but you will have to make sure that the JL 8" woofer has at least 1" to 1.5" in front of it to enable the sub cone to move freely (without obstruction). JL also offers a range of "ready made" sub enclosures on thier website (including kits for Tacomas), which could give you a good idea on mounting options.

The amp and speakers came out of a boat? That should be no problem if you plan to install these components into a car. Some companies (eg: JL Audio) have specific models which enable the use of thier products in marine environments, having components less susceptible to corrosion, U.V. damage and moisture ingress than thier equivalent car audio products.

Your JL amplifier part number E6440M has "M" added to the end of it's product name denoting it is intended for marine use, however you can use the same amplifier in a car without any problems at all. The power voltages will be the same, and the signal inputs are designed exactly the same. The only difference is that the marine version will have the added benefit of less corrosion problems :)

Just to make sure that the speakers aren't damaged (from corrosion) before fittment, check the motor and magnet basket assemblies (visually) for discoloration (particularly white salty residue).. These discolorations and residues should be removed as much as possible before fittment to a car environment, so as not to cause corrosion problems to your car later on down the track.

hi, have you figured out whats wrong with ur amp ...i have the same amp ....and as soon as i finished the connections ...and connect the remote on wire,,, the amp goes on ...making a ticking sound with the green light blinking and the red light staying solid on ...whats the problem please help ....how can i fix this ......my amp is a jl e6450 ....im using a panasonic cd player with a built in amp ....and thats the cd player im trying to connect to the jl amp ...please HELP

take a look at the power, ground and remote wires. the power and ground should be a minimum 6awg in wire size, and the remote wire at least 12awg. it sounds like your drawing a lot of power,so smaller wires usually mean more heat...the amp will turn off into protectedmode if it gets hot or is used for along period of time,so on any road trip make sure if isnt msothered by sleeping bags,coolers etc...just like any major electronic component, it needs room to col off.
