SVT4LIFE Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Ok A: He does not need a HO alt, 1700wrms can be ran from what he has. A HO alt would be nice but it is clearly not the problem here. B: Buy a volt meter and measure voltage drop. It is possible that your alternator is going bad and is not charging the batterys as it should be. C: Do the big 3, it should have already been done a long time ago D: Get rid of the stinger splitter and go directly to the HC800 with both amps (that is your splitter) E: As someone said before check speaker wires and to make sure the speakers arent blown. There could be a short somewhere. And lastly you said there grounded to "good grounds" what are they grounded to? The best ground you can ever get in a vehicle is your battery, in dual battery setups it is smart to run + and - cables from the amp to the back battery. and then 1 run of 1/0 from the back battery to the thickest part of the car you can find. For instance i grounded my back battery to the strut tower. hhhmmm the bottom of my rear seat folds up and the body of the car i took the paint off it and grounded it to the body? on both amps if i found a better ground would it allow or create more voltage?

jesterjames Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 take your run of 0 ga from the from batt to the back batt THEN to both amps x200!! just do it already Pioneer 500UB 1 LVL4 15" 4.3cubes tuned to 35HZ BXi1606D 1/0 Red top in back JBL 5 1/4's front Infinity Kappa 6 1/2's rear 145.7 Legal on music New Audio Control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT4LIFE Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 take your run of 0 ga from the from batt to the back batt THEN to both amps well see i dont think that battery is enough for both amps this is why i have it wired like this and i most likely going to add another kinetik HC1800 this weekend so the HC800 will get wired to the doors amp then the HC1800 will go to the JL 1000/1v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dro Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 hhhmmm the bottom of my rear seat folds up and the body of the car i took the paint off it and grounded it to the body? on both ampsif i found a better ground would it allow or create more voltage? depends how well you took the paint off, in my old car i grounded it up underneath the deck by the rear speakers trailblazer 18" xl aq2200 147.8db at 4 ohms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be dead honest, I would just run the + and - from battery to battery and screw the ground on the chassis. You are completing the circuit either way. And a better ground would be a drilled hole, sanded, to the actual chassis. I'm willing to bet there's a bottleneck of power from front to back. Have you tried just eliminating the back battery with the current setup? PS You NEED a voltmeter. Need an install? Hit me up.[email protected]Got car audio questions?

Skullz Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Please watch this so you understand what we're talking about for the big 3, once that is done you run your 0/1 to the back battery then hook those amps to the back battery and VIOLA your done. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
