Ebes Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I was driving home the other night and all of a sudden my system shut off completely, i got home and was thinking my circuit breaker must have been tripped, but it never actually tripped, sooo i have a dead system i have my main power hooked up to a cap, is it possible my cap went bad and that is causing my system not to work? and yes i know caps arent good im getting rid of it and never using them again lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive blown a total of 5 woofers in my car from bad grounds and everything. check all your stuff and if your positive and negs are working fine, check your remote wire from your headunit to the amp and make sure it isnt grounding out on the chassis or anything. sounds to me like something somewhere is shorting out. if possible ONLY after you checked the power, rca, remote turn ons, and subwoofer voice coil impedance; try another known good amp. Let me know how it goes. im good at telling where things screw up. hahaa. been there done that all before 2004 GMC Envoy1 XS power S3400 batt under the hood and 4 XS Power D3100's battery installed in the rear by the amps0 gauge power wire from front to backAlpine iva-w205 touchscreen dvd/cd/mp3/ipod/am/fm/gps headunitSundown Audio SAX-200.4 amp for my mids and highs8 gauge speaker wire from amp to woofer270 amp Mechman AltRockford Fosgate T1652-s component speakersRockford Fosgate 3Sixty.2 sound processorRca's from Rockford Fosgate and Monster Cable14 gauge speaker wire for the mids and highs1 18" Ascendant Audio SMD Dual 1 ohm with custom Black & Blue carbon fiber and hand signed dustcapBox: 5.66 cubic feet net volume box tuned to 30.13Hz with 1.5" wide wooden dowels and 1.5" thick baffle1 DC Audio 5.0k amp wired to .5 ohms nominal with an imp rise of 1.35 ohms for the single AA SMD 18"Future Vision 8000k 50w bi-xenon projector HID's with 4300k 35w fog lightsLink to my build: Buildupdates/progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
