Hawg wired amp Questions
 

Hey hows it going, I have a hawg wired amp in my bike a psc1502 and it stopped working the other day. Ive checked all the connections fuses everything the light will not come on the amp the ground remote and fuses are all connected perfect.Just curious if anyone has had a problem?

I had my radio sound quit last fall, with a Hawg Wired setup. I called Hawg Wired and they told me to do this first to check out the amp system.

There is an "Input jack" on the back of the amp, that you can plug an Ipod (or similar product) into. If sound comes out of your speakers from the Ipod, then there is nothing wrong with the Hawg Wired system. It's you radio.

It happene to me. No sound out of the radio and everything looked fine. I checked it out and had sound through the amp, so I then had to send my radio in for a warrentee swap.

Of course my HD service writer and mechanic said it had to be my amp. But I convinced them to trust me and they sent it in and the new/refurbished radio is working fine now without me touching the Hawg Wired stuff. That was the first thing they blamed.

Ive also un did the connections at the speakers and hooked the factory wires up to the speakers and it will work..it just wont work while hooked up threw the amp.. It has power at the 15amp fuse on the amp..I tried hooking my ipod up to the input port on the back of the amp and still nothing! I dont know the amp has power the red light is not on though and not working!

I hooked my Ipod up threw the radio aux, and still nothing. then i had my ipod hooked up threw the radio and I had my ipod head phones there and plugged into the amp and I heard my ipod playing..I dont know if that will be any help? I'm very mechanincly inclined, I use to hook up steros in all my buddys cars when I was younger its the same pricipal I've tripled checked everything and I cant figure it out! it was just working then stopped! Maybe how I hooked my Ipod up to the radio and the plugged into the input it bi passed the radio so maybe the radio is still faulty? I wonder if it could be the crossovers, but I dont think they wood go out at the same time..

How old is your amp? Irregardless call Rob or Mike at Hawg wired. They will go out of their way to help you and if need be they will update your amp and will cover it under warranty. First rate service.
BTW, I had an issue where I would get popping thru the speakers when I turned off the ignition, they told me to test it a couple ways and if it still did it with the amp off it was the radio head. Long story short I had a dakota digital antenna in ad thats when it did it. Since I have XM I tossed the dakota and plugged in the stock wire.
Hasnt happend since but my question to you is how hard of a time did the moco give you when you said it was their radio? My warranty is up in April but I am concerned the radio may be going bad as there is a burnt smell under the fairing around the radio heat sinks.

I havnt really talked to anyone at the harley dealer yet I figured I wood try doing some home work over the weekend and figure out what to do for monday.. I'm not sure how old the amp is but my bike is a 07 so I figure it cant be that old and still under warrenty...

Why not bypass the amp to check the radio?

Ive by passed the amp and hooked it up to the speakers to double check that the radio was still working and it is still working the problem is not the radio our the connections.. thanxs!

anyone else have any problems?

I've got the 4 channel expandable version. Currently using just the 2 channel 150 watt amp. Never had a problem where the sound went away completely. The only thing I've ever had happen that didn't seem right is a loss of high frequencies when I'm pushing the volume at or near max on the freeway. Seems like it's going in to a protection mode. But the volume never goes away. I'm thinking you should give hawg wired a call also. I need to call them as well. I just never seem to get around to it!

I cant belive no one else has anything else to say about them..

What's so hard to believe? I don't monitor Hawg-wired, but in the 3+ years I've been reading this forum, the only other problem with a Hawg-wired amp I can recall was from a guy who had incorrectly set the gain; he manned-up and provided a mea culpa. It was pretty cool since he was extremely confident that he had installed everything exactly according to the instructions. A phone call to HW and he was raving about the sound and acknowledged his installation error.

There are other products that are popular and trouble-free, with only the very rare occasion of a problem. Assuming you bought a new HW amp, you will soon have your problem resolved to your satisfaction.

I spoke to mike today at hawg wired great support just like you all said! took care of everything at no cost just cost me to ship it to them! great deal

I have the 120 amp plug and play model with the 4ohm 60 watt speakers, bought it a year ago no problems at all with it until Dec.18th when it quit working. Unplugged the amp and the stereo worked fine, checked the fuse it was not blown but did have some corrosion on the contacts, cleaned amp contacts installed new fuse still nothing. Called hawg-wired they said they would have it fixed or replaced asap, they then e-mailed me a UPS label so I did not have to pay for shipping.

Good deal... I'm glad they hooked ya up!

They have always been very responsive to any question I have asked them.

120 Amps! Wow! Must be melting down your electrical system!

OOOOOOOOOOPS that would be 120 watts. Thanks for the correction.

I knew thats what he would do. I did the same thing and they upgraded all the internals and shipped it back to me. Only cost me 1 way shipping. Cant beat service like that.

Man I was amazed buy there service being the 2nd owner. bought a used street glide with a fortune in it and it had hawg wired system in it..mike said no problem punched it all in the computer only cost me to send it there and they will fix it for free and send it back..What surprised me is the amp is out of warrenty and they are going to fix it for free, and told me if I have any other problems let them know and they will help me out..man they were great! Ive never ever heard of a company stand behind there product like that!
