Relyks Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 every morning the car battery is dead and we like to believe its cause of the amp its a 800watt mono amp speakers are on a 2ohm load the remote wire is in a cigarette lighter spot and it has stock bose door speakers and a double din headunit it has to die overtime in the night when she goes to crank next morning it is dead . any clues fellas 4ga kicker kit 2 jl audio 3wv3 12" california technology 800watt mono amp and double din headunit.

MrGeo Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) cigarette lighters are only powered when they key is in the ignition, so that should be fine, I don't know what else it would be.

Supercharged DCs Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 The cells in the battery may be messed up. I'm having the same problem with my Dakota, it won't hold a charge and I have to jump it every morning. Quote Bassless once again.

Azagtoth502 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) Maybe the cig lighter is getting constant power Make sure the amp is really off when the car is off Edited April 5, 2011 by azagtoth502 Quote pa-pa-platypus sorry not everybody has a companies nuts so far down their throat they catch every drop ball sweat when it falls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onelivinlarge Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 cigarette lighters are only powered when they key is in the ignition, so that should be fine, I don't know what else it would be. i bet with the remote wire he said he had on the cigarette lighter it is a constant so what it is doing is keeping the amp on and draining the batter rather the cutting the amp off so that it does not drain Quote 1) lookj to left 2) NOTICE BLKUE 3) ME > Y9OU 4) that is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged DCs Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I had a 1200w amp with the remote wire running to a cigarette lighter, and it wasn't constant power. May be different for each vehicle. Quote Bassless once again. Can't seem to keep a system for more than a few weeks Saving for a '06 Nissan 350z, look for build around June 2012.

Relyks Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 ok the remote wire has a bare spot in it and the lights are not on when they key is turned off on the amp but could it be such a small draw that its not turning the lights on and one more thing the battery is new and been replaced 2 times.

Superjay Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 every MBZ i've ever seen has a constant lighter (new ones have both)...you need to go to the pink/green accessory wire at the key Quote Principal JTech Consulting - Leader in 12-Volt Training and Product PlanningIt's not about how much power you have, but how well you use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
