Can There Be A Voltage Drop Through The Power Wire?


Recommended Posts

last night im driving listening to music and as soon as i park, it cuts off...i didnt do it... i waited til this mornin to check everything and realized that the battery is at 14.5, the power wire at the fuse is 14.5, the other side of the fuse is 14.5, i put a hole in the wire under the hood with a pin and THAT was even 14.5. so y is the power on my amp 8.9? neither one of my amps r coming on... help please! this is frustrating me and i have to take this long ass ride to work with no music! thanks

do you mean its 8.9 on the terminals of the amp?

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

Sounds like one of many possible things.

1.Corroded terminals somewhere.

2.You lost ground to your amp.

3.You have a bad breaker or fuse somewhere.

4.You dont have an Iraggi Alternator. LOL.. J/K :) You do need one tho. ;)

5.Your lead is not in the wire very good.

6.Your meter ground lead is not on bare metal.

7.Do you drink? LOL.. maybe your past your limit and misread the meter. LOL

8.Cheap brass connectors get burnt and loose connection.

9.Blown fuse front to back and you have been playing your sytstem off your back batts. Now they are down to 9 volts. High possibility.

Hope this helps.

Check your grounds and connections into your amp. I will almost bet that you either have a ground that has come or is coming loose or your ground is coming out of the amp's terminal. I doubt anything is wrong with your power wire at all. This sounds like a ground issue.
