getting low voltage


Recommended Posts

Posted

yesterday night while driving home, my amp turned off. the power light was dimmed so i thought i got a loose wire. i checked everything and nothing is loose. i checked the voltage at the battery with car on and its at 14.8v. i checked voltage on amp and it read 2.3v but with power cable disconnected it reads 14v(having the multimeter touching the ground wire and the power wire off the amp). any ideas anybody? all fuses and good. i double checked the ground and its tight. i've had this set up for more than a year. never changed it. i always play it the same way everytime.

check your voltage on both sides of your fuse. i bet its not good.

@n8ball2013 i looked at my fuse holder and it was loose. turns out it melted and wasnt making a good connection. thats what i get for using used stuff. the fuse also melted :( any recomendations for a replacement anyone?

A tight connection is the most important part
