Large Power Fluctuation Problems?

Recommended Posts

Weird .... last night I go to wire up my 2cd battery like I did before (just adding it in for the new front-facing setup)

and now a few times a day my subwoofer just gets completely quieter.

Like, I'll be playing U and Dat which has a steady beat to it and halfway into the song it just gets much much quieter.

Sometimes it stays like that for awhile ... could this be caused by a bad grounding location? Amp overheating? Loose connections? Anyone had any of these simliar symtoms?

Thanks...

PS ... OFF TOPIC but what's Rusty's number? Need to order a LVl3 for a friend ...

Thanks

Matthew

I had a problem similar to this, can't say it was the same situation, but my speakers would get quieter for no reason and i couldn't figure out why, but after a while i had found out that one of my rca outputs on the back of my head unit was going out and it would only work when i would wiggle it, rest assure i got that problem fixed right away, but hey if it happen to me once can't say it won't happen to someone else. Hope you find your problem

Subs are like titties, They need to come in pairs because ones and threes are just wrong, and larger amounts will always draw a crowd, we all have our favorite sizes, but the bigger ones are more fun to watch move. :D
