Levi563 Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 I have an 84 Dodge Ramcharger with a simple system I think it might be one of those pre bought pioneer kit with head unit and 4 speakers. It was in it when I bought the truck. I wanted more bass so i bought a very simple MTX terminator kit, single 12. I am young and didn't want to have to deal with matching amp/sub/box and all that so I bought the kit and put it in It sounds good but if i turn it up very loud all of the audio cuts out. I think it might be the battery/alternator combo or maybe the wires to the head unit. If the engine is off it will play at a quiet but turning it up to any enjoyable volume when the bass hits it cuts out. With the engine on it will get much louder but still cuts out with a lot of bass. Any help is appreciated thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juan777 Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Sounds like your voltage is getting too low. Or your remote wire could be shaking loose with the rattling. What amplifier do you have? Put up some pics of all connections so we can review. Get a multimeter and check your voltage while playing.

Levi563 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 The 'kit?' i have is this https://www.mtx.com/tnp112d-mtx-car-subwoofer-enclosure-and-amplifier I just wanted easy to get in, i didn't want to waste forever parting together a system. I will get some pics tomorrow but I would think with just the remote wire coming loose it would just lose audio to the sub, this cuts out all audio. The voltage stays relatively normal but does drop and the problem seems to get worse after listening for a while with the engine off. When bass hits the voltage will go down a little but will recover to the voltage it was before in a couple seconds or so, like i said it does drop after longer periods of listening though. The wiring job on the speakers seems shoddy could it be a ground somewhere? I am about to take my engine out of the truck and would not mind re wiring everything if that might be the problem. Anyway thanks for your help again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi563 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Here is a pic of the amp. wires are straight to the battery can't really get to the back of the head unit unless I take out the majority of the dash might get them later if necessary. sorry I had to crop so much file size was to big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi563 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I was also just messing around with it and turned the sub off in the head unit and it still has the same problem so I assume it's isolated to the head unit rather than the sub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 2 main things to check for in the case of your head unit: 1. Blown / shorted speaker or connection 2. Vdrop at head unit. In particular - check factory grounds. ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
