RiccardoGutiérrez Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Hey guys, I'm not entirely sure what the problem is here so I decided to post it up on here. My problem is sometimes when i play a heavy bass song, my subs will still play but my full range speakers will cut off temporarily... I have 2 car batteries, my primary battery is a standard car battery and I have an optima yellow top battery in the back. My alternator is the stock 110A alternator that came with my car. And I have a T1500.1bd CP that powers my 3 12" subs. and my full range speakers are Rockford Fosgate P1683 speakers connected to a Clarion XR2410 amp. both are connected to a distribution block too.

RiccardoGutiérrez Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 I figure its a lack of power, but what could I do to prevent this? separate the power wires and have them individually go to the batteries, get a 3rd battery, get a capacitor, upgrade alternator?

Tebo Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Can you get a hold another mids amp? Try swapping it out to see if its the amp itself.

RiccardoGutiérrez Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) Can you get a hold another mids amp? Try swapping it out to see if its the amp itself. i cant since I dont have an available amp in general and currently, I cant but I dont think its the amp because when I had my t1500 out of my car, I could even raise the volume to above 25 and have no problems, and I rarely ever have problems like this, but its just sometimes when I play a very heavy bass song after a little while, my mids amp cuts off and then turns back on after a second Edited April 12, 2012 by RiccardoGutiérrez Quote 2000 Ford Focus LX; Yellowtop Optima secondary battery; Rockford Fosgate T1500.1bdCP; 3 x 12" RE Audio SE-X 600w rms each @ 1.33Ohms; custom built enclosure; Clarion XR2410; 4 x Rockford Fosgate P1683 full range; SoundStream VR-345; NVX XEQ7 Equalizer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noe619 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 unplug your bass amp or disconnect the woofers and bump it just with door speakers to see if they cut off like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranny Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) did you check voltage at the highs amp when this is occurring? edit: honestly sounds like a voltage problem or a loose connection Edited April 12, 2012 by Kranny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blownengine Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 try swapping fused. If the fuse is loose or bad the amp could jump in and out of protect mode when you turn it up.

If the fuse is loose or bad the amp could jump in and out of protect mode when you turn it up. alright, I'll try that out when I get the chance, but from the looks of it, the fuse looks identical to the rest of my fuses Quote 2000 Ford Focus LX; Yellowtop Optima secondary battery; Rockford Fosgate T1500.1bdCP; 3 x 12" RE Audio SE-X 600w rms each @ 1.33Ohms; custom built enclosure; Clarion XR2410; 4 x Rockford Fosgate P1683 full range; SoundStream VR-345; NVX XEQ7 Equalizer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
