armykyle1 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 I highly doubt the distro is the issue, I would do a run of 0ga - and + to the rear batts pulling that much power, are you running too low of an ohm load? I've seen a few RF amps have issues going below 1ohm. check your pre outs too Quote TEAM XS POWERTEAM HEAVY HERTZMy build- http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/194454-e46-bmw-build-pos/#entry2914134youtube- http://www.youtube.com/user/armykyle1big build starting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homiewes Posted October 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Can you post a pic of the front battery with the wires connected to it? I want to see the terminals and such... i dont have a pic of that.. i got pissed and tore everything out right away. all it was, was a normal front to back battery setup. fuse was 18 inches away from front battery, and 18 inches away from back battery.. 0 guage ring terminals as connectors sotered on..

homiewes Posted October 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) I dont see where your back cable is hooking to the front. If you connected it to that little dinky terminal that would be a big mistake........ If you hooked your wire up through the dist. box then it would have been a bigger mistake. Not doing the big three could have been very helpful as well...... that dinky terminal isnt actually that small, it worked great, and the big 3 has nothing to do with it, when my system did play at full tilt, i only dropped from 14v to like 13.5v at Idle Edited October 29, 2011 by homiewes Quote My youtube channel, please subscribehttp://www.youtube.com/ballinblaza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a few RF amps have issues going below 1ohm. check your pre outs too i would have ran a run to the (-) from front to back but i ran outta wire. and at first i was running a 1ohm load, and i eventually wired it to 4 ohms and the problem still existed..

Dr. Johnson Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 How many amps were drawn at the amp on full tilt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranny Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 is that 13.5v at the amp itself? or at the battery/volt meter on the dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightmareImpala Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Def should have done the big three. Gotta have proper wire to deliver the amperage that the amp needs to function. Did the amp get hot at all? Quote TEAM DISTANT THUNDER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
