Broke_Audio_Addict Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I might have been useful to know that the amp was cutting out on you previously. Still could have been a ground issue though.

mrazandrewm Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I might have been useful to know that the amp was cutting out on you previously. Still could have been a ground issue though. Yeah. Sorry about that. But this was way different. The amp wouldn't power on. Nor would it get up to 12+ volts with the new ground. I now know it's a grounding issue. Will be grounding to the frame now.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 You definintly can run a test wire to the battery to see if the amp is working.

mrazandrewm Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 You definintly can run a test wire to the battery to see if the amp is working. Already did. I got 12.6V on the amp power and ground connections. Whereas before I would only get ~3V. Also did a small jumper from the power wire to the REM. Amp powered up and not in protect!!! I'm quite happy now.

mrazandrewm Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Update: Ran new ground to frame. Floorboard already had a hole in it from factory. Just had to use a punch to make a hole through the carpet. Now amp and LC2i does not cut out. Also, I made my own power and ground distribution bar. Wiring is better now as well. Thanks for all your recommendations!
