KickerKid58 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 hey everyone. ever since about a week or two ago i noticed my subs cutting in and out. thought it was a bad ground so fixed that up and realized it was the rca inputs. Running a oldddd bazooka amp that does 500watts @2ohms I'm gonna go with 90% sure its the amp & not the rca cable. RCA's are the nicest ones radio shack sells and its only about 4 months old. Bought the amp for $40 at a pawn shop lol opened it up just now and it looks like the connections are good so im not sure what to do. I know ive seen people splice in a female end of a scrap rca cable, just dont know how hard it would be do do that.. Any suggestions? --Andrew heres a few pics!

Freshman6969 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 youd be better off getting a better amp anyway, just sayin Quote Legal TL scores145.6 on the dash sealed up in the low 40hz area with the port out145.5 on the dash sealed up @30hz with the port inless then 1k clamped on a 3.5k! Why would you EVER WANT flex?huh?...flex is what can make the lows lower and more air being pushed correct?

KickerKid58 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 youd be better off getting a better amp anyway, just sayin From the pics every thing looks fine but you never know and like he said better off with a new amp problem is I goot pay $600 towards school in the next two months, and $300 in tickets to pay in the next month too. That along with the usual monthly expenses and limited hours at work due to school means no money till summer once money starts flowing hoping for an aq2200, better wire, batt or two and 1 or2 more lvl4's idk i can try to ghetto rig it so it wont move around as much i guess thats the best i can do on a budget for now lol Quote 06 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2 DC Level4 12" Soundstream TA1.3000d 4 RF Punch 6.5" Components 2 RF Punch 3.5" 2-ways RF Prime 400.4D XS Power XP950 +&-run of XScorpion 1/0 OFC My Civic Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
