Slawsen Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) Well, recently my amps have been cutting off at the same time then within 3 seconds to 1 minute they immediately turn back on and play just fine! (until they randomly cut off again) I'd appreciate any help or possible reasons for this happening I can get My setup: Stock silver battery Stock eighty(number turns into smiley lol)-amp alternator (1) 15" Kicker L7 04' model (1) Hifonics Brutus BXi 1206D (wired to 1 ohm) (1) Rockford Fosgate PRIME R150-2 (1) Kicker DS component set 4 gauge wiring inline 250A fuse tsunami distribution block knukonceptz rca's I think that it has something to do with my power wire because i know its not over-drawing my stock electrical system, my voltage hardly drops. This stopped happening for like the past 2 weeks then just started again 2 days ago. P.S: I live in Florida if the temperature has anything to do with it.

BeachJoshua Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Check to see if there is any wire exposed where the power wire goes into the amp, if there is... wrap electrical tape around it Quote | S-10 | 4.5^3 ft | 33Hz | SAE-1000D @ 1 Ohm | 2 SA-12s | SPL: 143.7 Sealed | 153.4 Port Wars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But both amps cut off at exactly the same time. Also, should I do the same at the distribution block and inline fuse? I never knew that could cause this kind of problem.

jeyrapboy Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Agreed, also make sure that you ground is solid. Make sure it touch bare metal and not paint. So it a nice and strong ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are are all doing it at the same time, its is most likely and issue with the power or ground from you car. So check the distribution point on you battery or distro blocks. It most likely is one main wire causing all the amps to shut off, also is your amps all hooked up to one remote wire from your headunit. You might wanna try making a jumper from your positive to see if that works too.

Also, should I do the same at the distribution block and inline fuse? I never knew that could cause this kind of problem. I figured that out on my own, if I played anything with ANY sweep in it, bass that is, it would pop the fuses in my amp... IDK how... it just did... whether it was in a song, or sine sweep.

dyeagain15 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Or not enough power general. Running on just one battery, a stock one at that. Gotta think, its running all your accessories in your car along with your audio stuff. Add another battery. You're trying to draw to much power, so the amps are probably going into protect.

Gotta think, its running all your accessories in your car along with your audio stuff. Add another battery. You're trying to draw to much power, so the amps are probably going into protect. Adding a battery wouldn't solve an overdrawing problem because batteries don't generate more power, silly. So, my switch to my amps ...one of the wires was loose..stupid solder. And my grounds were getting a bit loose somehow, but I fixed and played music for about 5 minutes and no problem. I'll know by tomorrow if that was the problem. Appreciate the help gentlemen. =] edit: the amps weren't going into protect, just turning off and turning back on shortly, which is why i think the remote wire switch was the problem.
