bigp88 Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 When I first metered my 2 15k I did a 155.5. One amp got popped due to turning on with no load. So we hooked up just one and did a 154.7 I noticed a few shows later it dropped and did a 153.5. When we got second amp back from repair and to install it the older amp clipped out much earlier when setting it and all it did was get me back to a 154.7. I also left out the fact the older amp has a melted ground and blown volt meter from a bad ground job n past install. Is it possible some of the internal components fried n old amp making it not blow but just do less power? I’m running amps at 2 ohm each and they are powered by 6 northstar batts,3 singer alts and 8 power runs in a 09 tahoe on 4 zv5 15s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoove Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Melted ground is a bad connection somewhere. You need to find that and fix it before you continue testing. 2 Team Fi 15's v1 2 DD M5's 970amps of Alt 6th order blowthroughThe truck Blowthrough build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155555-smooves-1996-chevy-ext-cab-c1500-slow-build/The 350z build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/170694-smooves-2003-nissan-350z/ My FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smooves-Car-Audio-and-performance/719746144805343 Team Fi Audio http://www.ficaraudio.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyBoy95 Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 The hotter it is, the lower your batteries will float, the less output your alternators do, i.e. less power overall as well.

SkarredSierra Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 I always do my own audio work to avoid issues like that. I dont even let auto shops do any mechanical or maintanance stuff. I got a buddy who i have do the hard stuff and i do the easy shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
