HotRodHam Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) ok so i installed a system in a friends car and her battery keeps dieing. her old one was all corroded n stuff so she got a new one and it keeps dieing. all the grounds/power wires are all connected properly and in good spots. i have no idea where i went wrong never happened in the 20+ installs ive done for friends. cd player - crappy vr3 amps - jl 500/1 subs - 2 12" jlw0 idk what ohm the subs r or how they r wired because they r wired inside of the box into 1 terminal.

Real96SS Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Sounds like somethings draining the battery.You may want to check all your remote wires and make sure that its connected to the proper wire.By the way what type of car is it and where did you connect the remote wire?

mbdblue Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 check all power/ground connections at the battery and alternator, check remote wire, then if nothing is found, you might want to get the alternator load tested to make sure its properly charging the battery.

HotRodHam Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 just thought of something... the wire harness that plugs into the cars stock harness has a remote wire coming out of it but the cd player doesnt have a remote wire coming out of it could that be part of the problem maybe?
