Stee-Z Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Ever since my battery fried..lol... i havnt had bass, im saving up for new battery. So i just hooked it without battery. and turned bass down and everything so i could have a nice bass. when i hooked it up it was like normal, but i turned my volume down and put it on my normal settings.. what i realized was i could turn it to my normal volume and bass where it should be with battery, and my lights don't even dim.... shouldnt my amp be drawing that power like crazy... its like something else is wrong, or is the ampjust notexcepting that voltage drop? can someone help me out here?

Stee-Z Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 could it be the pico fuse on the shtty old pioneer headunit, or would that just make it not work at all?? it makes a crackly sound through mids/highs now also btw.

varietyguy Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 how many batts do you have now. I think the first thing you should do is get a multimeter and see what your voltage is. make sure everything is getting the proper voltage. Are both subs working? Have you checked to make sure that the subwoofer gain and all the settings on your deck are back to where they were?

fritosaregood Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 sounds like you turned a setting down and forgot about it. or if you have 2 subs wired in parallel you might have blown one when the batt fried.

MrSkippyJ Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I'm confused, how exactly and what exactly did you hook up without a battery?

varietyguy Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I'm assuming he had 2 batts and 1 went bad, but I could be wrong Quote 1992 Mazda 323 http://www.stevemead...323-wall-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
