carshateme Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 A bad ground will definitively cause the "Low V" light to come on...since it's not a complete circuit, it's not receiving the correct amount of voltage. Like the rebel said, take a picture. We'll decide rather or not that's the case. Remember, a ground is best when it's against pure shiny metal or some kind of conductor. If paint is on it...it's not a good ground. Even if it's sanded a thin piece of metal for something like a jack or similar won't work well. It needs to be in a place where it doesn't go into spot welds. True, I was referring to the frame of the body though, was just going through to basic of it. I just took it a bit further haha Oh I see now. was about to start trollin too. lol. Could the case of not having a good grounded battery be the cause as well? Quote New build coming soon.

Rebel4055 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I guess it could be. But he would have other issues besides the amp. For example, the car has a hard time starting or doesn't start. Electronics on the car aren't acting right. Quote Rest In Peace mother.

It's more than likely not a issue with the alternator or the battery... Quote Rest In Peace mother.

It's the same thing my hifonics amplifier did when I had it grounded to my shock holder, moved the ground to the donut holder wall and it works perfectly fine now. Quote New build coming soon.

MarcoCaparrotta Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 thanks for the help guys, Ill try to get a picture posted as soon as possible. Its not my truck so its hard to get a picture. We are thinking its a battery issue. The batter has been in there for a while so thank you for the help.

carshateme Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Well most of the time if the battery isnt giving the amp the juice it needs it will fly right into protection mode or wont play at all. When you said it keeps cutting out. I was thinking it was a loose ground or a ground on a painted surface. Quote New build coming soon.
