OrionStang Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 A couple months ago I fried my xl. Around the same time, my check engine light came on, I reset that with no problems. A couple weeks later messing with my big 3, I noticed that the wire from alt to batt had come apart at the fuse. So, my question is would that sudden drop in power from the alt lead to a chain of events that would send a heavily clipped signal to my sub and kill it? This was a couple months back, don't know why Im thinking about it now lol. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrionStang Posted May 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Damn, thats what I thought. I've got all my wires soldered on the new setup so it won't happen again. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldsBoomer Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 yes thats a major possibilty because if you tuned your amp when you had that voltage and then it suddenly drops, it will create clipping amd add heat to the coil of your sub and blow it. Your electrical stage is extremely important when running a system properly Quote Suburban Coming Soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted May 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 The lesson of the day is, "Do not attempt to crimp and hammer 1/0 power wire. Always solder!" Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEvil Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Step 1: solder. Step 2: hammer/vise. Step 3: pull-test. Step 4: profit. Quote MickyMcD - "Capable of making some serious trouser flapping volumes at where's-my-testicles frequencies, the Servo-Drives used to be fairly jaw dropping..." Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.
