voxigenboy Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 So yeah... I installed the 'power cell' right before the sub(s) amp & made sure everything's hooked up correctly. For some reason though, the subs come on but barely move at all. The Kinetik battery has not been charged in awhile though... could that be the issue?

Guest Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 charge the kinetik overnight on a battery charger. check voltage a few hours after you take it off the charger. should be around 12.6-13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voxigenboy Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 darn.. no charger. this hc600 doesn't say how many amps it is. can i just pick up any ol' walmart charger as long as it's voltage regulated and/or micro processor controlled?

NO NO NO please dont.. it HAS to be a agm charger.. a regualr flooded charger will fuck that battery up sooo fast..also a good charger shouldnt go above 14v charging and mid 13s floating voltage.. heres what i did at 1st.. i went to harbor freight..they have a "charger maintainer" for literally 10$.. it works awesome never charges above 13.9 and floats at 13.7s even more help the part number is item # 42292 cen tech is the brand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittlesRgood Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 that isnt your problem. take pics of how you have it installed. that will really help us trouble shoot it the most. include pics of the ground wires. check voltage at the amp while the car is on. if voltage looks good (above 13.8v) then turn the system on and turn the volume up and check again. if either of these checks show low voltage then check voltage at the front battery. report what you find. double check that you didnt accidentally unplug an RCA or change the gain or crossovers. the subs were much louder before this install correct? If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

skittlesRgood Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 i have an intellicharger too. thats not my point though. if charging at anything above 14v could harm the battery then every single one of our cars would have killed our batts now since the alt charges above 14v.
