ShaneBond Posted February 6, 2012 Report Posted February 6, 2012 ok so i just got my whole new system installed 4 audioque hdc2.5 12's with an audiopipe 3000d. with my old system just 2 12's and the audiopipe 1800 my car lights would dim and my volt meter would drop. i have it wired like this front batter, fuse, back battery, then plugged into the amp. the ground for the amp goes from amp, to battery, to chasy ground. when i got the 3000d installed there was no voltage drop at all. it played amazing for around 15 minutes. then, it would start cutting off when i turned it up.... any help? please and thank you.

Rebel4055 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Posted February 6, 2012 So you upgraded in power and are wondering why your stuff shuts off? Lol. Take a picture of the ground location you choose and how did you gain the amp? By ear? Max? Guessing? Quote Rest In Peace mother.

ShaneBond Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Posted February 6, 2012 im wondering why i have no voltage drop at all. and by ear. i turned it up no more than barely over quarter. and i think my ground might be bad its in a blazer and they have hooks in the back idk how to describe it. Quote
ShaneBond Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Posted February 6, 2012 i felt the amp same temp as when we hooked it up Quote
MrBalll Posted February 6, 2012 Report Posted February 6, 2012 and i think my ground might be bad its in a blazer and they have hooks in the back idk how to describe it. Like the cargo tie down hooks? Quote
mathewdylang Posted February 6, 2012 Report Posted February 6, 2012 if its a blazer there are some large bolts under the rear seat that expose a lot of bare metal. i have my rear battery grounded there. takes about 3 foot if your battery is in the little recession after the wheel well in the back.

ShaneBond Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Posted February 6, 2012 heres a pic of the box and everything. you can see the ground cable goes to some hook thingy under the box. Quote
