metalhead2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I am having some problems with what i believe is my electrical system. I though it was the fuse under my hood but it turns out it was not. I bypassed it and my subwoofers are still failing and turning off randomly. I have had this problem a few times in the past and i have no idea what it could be. The amp looses power. My voltage is just fine but fluctuates from 13.2 to 13.8 could this be the problem. Any ideas as to what could be the problem?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalhead2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 the amp does get a little warm and hot to the touch. would a small computer fan work for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprkn_ranger Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Check your ground. Where is the amp grounded at? Is it sanded down to bare metal?

SnowDrifter Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 What sort of voltage are you getting at the amp? What amp, what ohm load are you wired to? Checked you remote wire and RCAs?
