ShaneBond Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 alright does anyone have a good location for a ground inside of a blazer around where my bat is located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaneBond Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 even then, the voltage gauge in the dash is wired to the front battery only. if you ground is bad (like being on top of rhino lining) your rear battery isnt "hooked up" you arent seeing voltage drop because your rear battery isnt in the same wiring line as the front and voltage gauge itself. your rear amp worked for a few minutes using only what the battery had stored power wise. it will go into protect when it reaches below 9.6v. IE your battery in the rear is drained with now charge coming from the alt because no ground. and i didnt paint over the ground with rhino liner if thats what you meant lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathewdylang Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 no you said it was on rhino liner type material. its actually under coating to inhibit rust. but as I stated my batt is in the same place. run wire up to under your rear seat. should be 18 or 21 mm bolts. i had the same problem with my aq1.2 i had. ran wire to the back seat from the batt and it holds steady with any amp i run now if i have the power. even my mb 1.5 at .5ohm.

Sheena Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 different efficiencies? subs wired at diff ohm? bad amp? bad ground? miswired/wired wrong? honestly what i gather so far is... no voltage drop at lower volumes, then after 15 mins of full tilt it cuts out? if it cuts out after 15 mins of playing full tilt... you have voltage drop, or the amp is bad.

That's my guess. Quote 2010 Civic SI sedan: Crystal Black Pearl All stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathewdylang Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 check your ground... im serious. that exact thing happened when i ran my aq... ground was bad... would zap my rear battery... go into protect... try again go into protect. moved my ground... never had another problem.
