SIDE SHOW Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 also what are you running from the amp? at what ohm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inetba Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I am running a DD 3515 at 2 ohms. The car is running. It dims at idle, it dims at 2k rpm, it dims at 4k rpm. The amp is going into protect. According to the manual that came with the amplifier it is going into "low voltage protect" and it doesn't go into low voltage protect until it hits 10.5 volts.

Inetba Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I know the amp going into protect and the lights dimming are related. It's because of low voltage. What I don't understand is WHY I'm getting low voltage. My RPMs are high. My alternator is HUGE. I really hope it's not an alternator problem because I paid $600 for the thing.

Inetba Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Battery is one week old, I'm thinking of unplugging the ELD tonight. See if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inetba Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Hondas come with this stupid thing that turns off the alternator until the battery voltage drops to like 12.5v. It's to improve gas mileage but it can cause issues with big amplifiers. I disabled the ELD and the dimming stopped, but now the amp goes into protect at 22/35 and stays there unless I turn the volume down. I have a feeling it's because I need a bigger wire from the battery to the amp. The current wire is 4 gauge. I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIDE SHOW Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Yeah that could be the problem, I thort you had 1/0gauge.... still the 4 gauge should be enough. least the dimming had stopped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTS909 Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Did you cut the original alt plug and wire a new one? Maybe wired incorrect.
