  1. Sounds like one of many possible things.

    1.Corroded terminals somewhere.

    2.You lost ground to your amp.

    3.You have a bad breaker or fuse somewhere.

    4.You dont have an Iraggi Alternator. LOL.. J/K :) You do need one tho. ;)

    5.Your lead is not in the wire very good.

    6.Your meter ground lead is not on bare metal.

    7.Do you drink? LOL.. maybe your past your limit and misread the meter. LOL

    8.Cheap brass connectors get burnt and loose connection.

    9.Blown fuse front to back and you have been playing your sytstem off your back batts. Now they are down to 9 volts. High possibility.

    Hope this helps.

    I would check this. Happened to me, felt super stupid. I was like can't be m fuse cuz he amp kicks on but would shut down after a few seconds of beat. Then it just quick coming on.

    P.S. I like number seven....

  2. where you gonna get one of those?last i heard those subs and company went bankrupt so its rare to find one of those I THINK

    I've heard this too and if they did its been awhile. Which means they are most likely old and have been sitting plus what about recones if the did go bankrupt. Before you buy I would dig deeper into the company to see if they are still around.

  3. he either has it at 4 or 2ohms so it shouldn't mess with the amp. i'm thinking it's where he has the amp sitting maybe?

    I see don't know much about his woofer so I was wondering. I've had three of the apline MRP modles the 800 or 850 I think and the 650's both the 650's would do this. Everthing hooked up right and set right running at two ohms. Never figured it out ended up upgrading to a bigger amp. Good luck Ill keep reading to see if I find anything for ya.

  4. No. The process needed to change veggie oil into a usable diesel fuel is very expensive (and dangerous). Putting those kits together is the same way. Those kits to make your own have to be priced accordingly. They're usually price "manu. cost + 1.2(manu. cost)". That sound high, but it's not cause there's usually only 1 middle man.

    Not to mention, compatibility issues could arise from throwing your own kit together.

    Well from what I've read all you have to do is filter it. I'm not saying run it completely off oil. I live in Michigan and I would need to use the diesel until it warmed the oil up but from what I've read is all you do is filter and put it in it's separate tank. And have a switch to changes which tank the jeep would run off of.

  5. I think this would be the right place to post this. OK so this isn't going to happen soon, but I've been putting a lot of thought into doing this(been in my head for at least 8 months and can't get it out of my head). I have read up on people dropping the Jeep 2.8 turbo diesel into Rubicons and Cherokee's. I've checked out some used 2.8 engine's online and there in the ball park of 3-4k dollars. I know this would be hard, and yes I know my way around a car and am currently in school for this stuff(diesel's and auto). I'm sure between my dad and I we could figure getting this engine into my jeep(99 Grand Cherokee). My problem comes to these veggi oil conversion kits after reading about them I have found a few different company's that offer the conversion and some are specifically for this engine. My question is why are they so expensive? Looking at the content and reading how they work I would think I could buy the parts separately and make the kit myself. Does this sound possible to make the kit myself or not? The kits are anywhere from 1400-2300.

    Any input will be nice weather its positive or negative.
