Thomas B Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 Ok here's the situation. I thought my system was acting up but then I thought something through is it possible that my amperage to the amps is dropping to low. I have 6 + stock batteries and my voltage stays up but my systems acts like its clipping after a few seconds full tilt even though I know it's not. my thought on the situation is i used cheap 0 guage connectors and do you think that they cant move enough amperage to keep the amps with enough power.All my batteries are ran in parallel because of the way they are all stuffed in my trunk It sounds good for the first couple minutes straight off the charger then goes to crap. i thought my amps were f'ing up because of all the vibration they are taking. I was hitting mid 50's but now it's all going down hill. I hit a 151.4 the other day so i know somethings wrong. I am almost sure that's the problem but i just want more verification before I rip my box out because if anyone has seen my build they will understand that pulling my box out to get to my batteries is a 4 hour job. 91' CRX Si HU - Alpine cda-7995 All stock interior Amp - Crescendo bc3500 Subs - 4 sa 10 d1 spl's Batt - 3 x 100 ah 149.5 Street beat Integra Build Log
Thomas B Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Posted February 29, 2012 Someone has to know something about electrical and can confirm this. I have 3 days to get my situation fixed so I can make it to South Padre for reginals. I won't win crap if I am hitting 151.5. I would like some input from someone with a confirmation before i spend 2 days working on this. would clamping my cables into my amp let me know if the amperage is dropping would that be a good start?> 91' CRX Si HU - Alpine cda-7995 All stock interior Amp - Crescendo bc3500 Subs - 4 sa 10 d1 spl's Batt - 3 x 100 ah 149.5 Street beat Integra Build Log
JasonJones Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 How often do you charge your batteries? It is not your terminals, if it were your terminals it would be constant not a sporadic problem. Can your charger test your battery %? It sounds like your batteries may not be holding a charge anymore to me. Also check your grounds, if you have a ground that is rotting out/gone then your amps could not be getting as good of a ground connection and be heating up.
