Hotdog Posted October 29, 2014 Report Posted October 29, 2014 Is the Stinger battery in back. If so it may not be fully charged causing the drop out.

SIDE SHOW Posted October 29, 2014 Report Posted October 29, 2014 yeah.... do both amps have there own ground point? or are they sharing the same ground?
Eye opener Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Posted October 29, 2014 No I don't have pictures but it was installed at a shop. When I unhook bass amp I have no problems with highs going out. And they have separate grounds plus ground is also ran from the battery to where the amps are located . The battery is under hood it replaced the factory one.
SIDE SHOW Posted October 29, 2014 Report Posted October 29, 2014 ground from your amps is run all the way to your front battery?..... or have you run a ground from the chassis to the neg terminal on the batt

Hotdog Posted October 29, 2014 Report Posted October 29, 2014 Put your battery on a trickle charger overnight and see if the problem goes away in the morning. I think your Alt is not charging your battery fast enough and once your battery voltage drops your highs amp cuts out. Do your lights Dim when you hit a bass note?

OrionStang Posted October 29, 2014 Report Posted October 29, 2014 Something with the wiring is fucked. But unless you can tell us EXACTLY how its hooked up, can't really help. I will answer your Alt question, though. NO a new alt won't help until you find your cut-out issue and fix it. Id start with the 4 gauge battery connections, fusing connections, and ground.

Hotdog Posted October 29, 2014 Report Posted October 29, 2014 Well he is running a 2400 watt rated amp at 2 ohm on stock electrical. Even if it only did 1800 it is more then a stock system can handle. Then he had a 600.4 too. His electrical is severely lacking. Even if connection are all good it is severely lacking.

OrionStang Posted October 29, 2014 Report Posted October 29, 2014 I agree there, but if it was simply a voltage issue, both amps would cut out, I would assume. OP, why not take it back to the shop? Like suggested. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
Eye opener Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Posted October 29, 2014 The ground from the front is off the neg. side of the battery 8gauge Going to the body of the truck where the amps are. The amps are also grounded to the truck in different locations. The focal highs amp has 4gauge stinger wire with stinger fuse holder and battery terminal. The elite1 has 2/0 welding lead wire with stinger 2/0 fuse holder with battery terminal. Both mounted on back wall of truck behind seat. The battery is a stinger 3100 up front and I have a kenwood dnx890 head unit. Also my lights do dim
