mrwigglezdj Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 im thinking it will have alot to do with the quality of rca you are useing, and yes quality does matter even my cheap ass has learned that, and are they being pulled, tuged or steped or or pressure added to the rca, if so reroute them so there is none of the above happeing to the rca, there sensitive things Quote Americas loudest work van2006 iasca heavyweight bassboxing champion at 150.4 db with 60second average TL8 memphis PR15s,12 memphis PR6.5's coax,4 memphis PR 1inch tweets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slappin F150 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Rf Rcas are all I use. I love em. You may be running your amp at too low of an ohm load and it cuts out. Or you remote, power, or ground cable are loose and when you hit bumps it looses contact for a sec.

Neo_frog Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Something is funky, but I'm willing to bet your $10 competition grade RCAs aren't going to fix it. :01nocomment8so: Quote Need an install?
