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 Thats what I brought up to the previous person, it doesnt cut off when my t1500 is disconnected. so your bass amp is taking up the juice ...i think its the current from the rf amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiccardoGutiérrez Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 well, so far I havent found any solutions but tomorrow is my day off so I will be experimenting on how to stop this from happening 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...
Bump4life Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 what gauge wire do you have running to your batteries? is your big 3 done in 0 gauge OFC? is your wire from front battery to rear battery 0 guage OFC? then what size wire runs to amp? my friends car had major voltage drop (he dropped into the 9.5 range) and that was due to him using 4 gauge to amp and batteries in back. he swapped out all 4 gauge and went 0 gauge even to amp and now he ddrops to 12 minimum standing.

Is there an adapter for that?

Guest Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 you still have yet measured voltage, which can tell you a lot of things. you're getting suggestions on what to do when you didn't test anything. so we're all going blindly here with no leads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
