Question about Pioneer TS-W256C Car Subwoofer

1 Answer

Subs stop in middle of songs with deep base

On some songs with deep low base my amp will switch to protected and i will have to turn off my cd player and turn back on for it to start playing again. It doesnt do it on all songs, it does best on songs with short burst's of base

    I have the exact same prob, but I took the amp to get it checked and the man told me that I needed to give the amp bigger power supply. Like an extra battery.

I have 2 amps instalkled in my car one is sony 1200w 2 channel amp for speakers and one is solid audio f2500d for 3 subs my sound and every thing was good but suddenly from yesterday im having trouble when...
First disconnect the CD head unit from the sub amp and see if the other amp works. If yes, the problem is the wires to the amp, the amp itself, or the subs/sub wiring. If no, the problem is the head unit--probably an internal short.
If the other amp works with the sub amp disconnected, reconnect the sub amp to the head unit, but disconnect the sub wires from the amp. Try the CD player. If the amp goes to protect with no speaker wires attached, the amp is bad. If the amp is OK, the problem is the subs or sub wires. Hook the wires up to the amp again, but disconnect them from the speakers. Try the player again. If the amp goes to protect, the problem is the amp wiring. If not, the problem is the subs. Check the impedance of each sub using an ohmmeter to determine which amp is out of spec.
Please let me know if you have questions, and thanks for using Fixya.

Amp wire pushin to much base out of car speakers and not to subs
Umm.. subs are usually meant for bass. do you mean amp power wire? if you just want to be able to hear the mid's and highs better just turn the bass down either on the equalizer on your amp or on your cd player.

KAC-9102d no sound, Amp powers on but no sound to the subs.
If the sub isn't working, you won't get a pop. All you need is a small speaker. Don't need a sub, you just want to test the sound. I recently blew 2 subs, no smoke, no smell, no sign of being blown. Absolutely nothing from the subs.... In the past my sub locked up. You can take your sub out of the box and hook the + and - to the battery to see if you can get the sub to pop there. I believe a small box will push a sub into a deep excursion to the center of the cone. I have 2 lanzar VW12D's that just quit. I hooked a 6 x 9 up to my amp and low and behold I had sound! Try that and see what you get...

Amp Issues
1800W peak output at 2 ohms
975W peak output at 4 ohms
600W RMS (continuous) at 2 ohms
325W RMS (continuous) at 4 ohms
Variable LP crossover adjustable 35-250Hz
4 AWG power/ground inputs and RCA pass through
Low-pass filter
Bass boost 0-18dB adjustable remote punch bass EQ
Signal-to-noise ratio: >80dB
Line-level input


It is going into protect mode for a reason.
Disconnect the subs and turn everything on again. If the light comes on, the problem is internal and will need servicing by a technician.

My amp wont turn on
The reason it used to cut-off at 60% volume as you said before,
Is probably due to the "protection circuit mode" being tripped.

You can try resetting it by turning off your CD player ,removing the Batt( + ) and Gnd ( - ) terminals from the amp for a short period. Reconnect them Allow the amp to receive power but not switch on (keep cd player/remote power source off)

If you dont know how to wire the CD player to control the amps power status , the easiest way is to connect the 'power antenna' or similar low voltage throughput wire from the head-unit to the amp's Remote terminal.

My old amp did the same thing ,and would need to be powered off/on before resuming sound output, sometimes I had lots of trouble with the protect mode staying on , even with little or no sound output from headunit.

Amp protection
Does it go into protect if you disconnect the speaker wires from the speaker terminals of the amp?

Amp turns off or goes to protected mode during long low base
Let me take a stab at it There are two types of resistance... Static and dynamic. These resistance change depending on the position of the cone. Now im guessing the short bursts of bass are not small ones. If the cones are forced further than allowed the resistance of the combinded drivers may drop below the rated impediance for the amp...causing the amp to into protection to keep itself from over driving itself (the less reistance a amp sees the more power it will produce, till it essential blows itself up)

HU Shuts Down - "Protect" Blinking
if it is only doing it over 30 then you need to turn down the bass level on the deck and make up for it with the subs sounds like its putting out too much juice. also if your car has a factory amp for your door speakers ect make sure that your factory speakers are the same ohms as the cd player which is 4ohm ,most fancier car speakers are 2 ohm. if that is the case the amp on the cd player is going in to protect mode to prevent frying your factory amp if you have one. check all your wiring from the cd player to the car and make sure it is all properly hooked up and there are no crosed wires. or wire hooked up incorrectly. also make sure the amp wiring kit is big enough gauge for the amp. make sure its not the amp that runs your subs that is cutting off the HU.
