Hoppy72450 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I dont know exactly how to explain this I have tried everything I can think of plus what you all have said. But none of it seems to work so i will take one more chance to explain it in hopes that someone has had it happened to them. Ok when I turn up the Volume on the Radio to high witch is not very high, the Amp lights dimmen and the speaker cuts in and out its not clipping it either. And the lights on the truck dont dimmen when the amp does so does this mean bad connection on Wire ? I sanded ground down and replaced wire. and checked fuses and all nothing changes changed head unit got a new one and got new RCA's everything. Only thing left is to change out Power wire. I noticed today when I was checkin power wire it was corroaded on the battery terminal where the wire is hooked to connecter maybe this was a clear , problem not sure it isnt bad corroison but I dont know how much it takes to make it not work. And thats the only thing I can think of I am thinking of running the 1/0 gauge New wire to the Red box on my truck like FiBL4life had his. Thanks and Sorry for any repost!

Its a 80 Amp fuse on amp I got a 100 amp fuse its a 1600 watt amp Mono and I will try that stuff thanks all. Anyone know where I can get a good set of a 1/0 Wire set for low price ?
