Necorum Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 (edited) Ok i had prev. installed a alpine 4 chgannel amp and then got a 15 inch rockford subs and kenwood amp. I installed everything the same as i did for the alpine but didnt run a distribution blockl due to getting a capacitor this weekend that has one built in, I ran the power wires together to the trunk and yesterday during a rainy day my subs started cutting in and out. after some trouble shooting i found this. http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2/Necorum/Picture112.jpg what is the cause of this? Ps i used different brands of wires. rockford fosgate for the alpine and some offbrand for the kenwood. Im guessinf cheap wire.

FieroGrande Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 picture looks like a piece that you cut off with a burnt end on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necorum Posted December 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 picture looks like a piece that you cut off with a burnt end on it. You would be correct . The wire i cut it off (its too cold to sit and take pics outside) and one end was charred the red that connected to my battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoe1129 Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 I would have to say too much current draw for that wire. Is it cheap wire or smaller than what you had?

Necorum Posted December 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 I would have to say too much current draw for that wire. Is it cheap wire or smaller than what you had? cheap wire ... should i change the cheap wire onto the smaller alpine 4 channel amp and the rockford wire to the bigger amp (sub amp) til i can get a better wire?

roscoe1129 Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 yep, give that a try Quote Some people need a sympathetic pat... on the head...with my hammer Scientia est Vox "In Nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti" DONT BE AFRAID TO USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!!!

Necorum Posted December 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 (edited) yep, give that a try Pretty sure the alpine mrp-240 4 channel 50x4 takes less to power than the kenwood kac-7203 250 rms x 2 @ 2 ohms amp powering the 15's. Oh the gain is up rather high due to my head unit should i tuirn that down a bit? (think i read something somewhere online about doing this might be wrong) Edited December 10, 2007 by Necorum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
