Jesus805 Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Okay thanks.. Well the problem was weird cause since I installed new components in the front the cap turns of like every 3 minutes by itself so I was like fuck it, I see people using battery's for a reason right..And The bass is not hitting as much as it usually does.. Like latterly no bass Thanks for the info. So I am guessing an sx battery?? Like how Manu watts should it be?

chewie Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 dude.. buy more wire and do the big three before you buy another battery... if you add a battery without upgrading your electrical your just adding to your problem Quote 91 dodge colt gt.. 4 custom t600 15s audioque 3500d.1 tuned to 25 hz... stay tuned. blazer stroker 15 brutus bxi2006d terrible voltage drop 145.4@38HZ...

Jesus805 Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) you shouldnt really need it for that.. do the big three upgrade and get some good wire unless you have it already.. also upgrade your grounds. sierra as in truck? if so ground your up front battery to the frame and then ground your amp to the frame as well your gonna have to drill a hole though.. Yeah it's a gmc Sierra.. So a direct line the frame? Why not just to the body? Edited January 5, 2011 by Jesus805 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus805 Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 dude.. buy more wire and do the big three before you buy another battery... if you add a battery without upgrading your electrical your just adding to your problem So just change my 4 gauge wire to 0 gauge.... And then the big 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewie Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) because the body is a horrible ground.. your body is spot welded together a thousand times and your curent is trying to travel through those which is highly resistive (is that a word? anyways upgrade your big three. and ground the body or better yet ground the alt mount to the frame up front.. and then ground your amp to the frame.. your voltage issue will be GONE .. because grounding to a nice thick peice of steel is better than on a thin peice connected by tiny little spot welds.. you really shouldnt need a battery for that amp. if your getting voltage drop somethings wrong.. aka not having a big three done. trust me and save yourself some money.. go to knukonceptz and get yourself some wire for the big three. what wire do you have for your power wire now? is it some cheap install kit? if so order some new power wire. and enough wire to do the big three and the frame ground.. youll be happy you did. if your amp doesnt accept 0 guage then theres no need for it.. go on knu and get the OFC WIRE get the size you need and call it a day.

Jesus805 Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Got it man thanks! Let's just hope that's the problem.

chewie Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 no youll be fine after the upgrade.. do all your grounding to the frame.. your mids and highs amp would be fine off the schosche wire but i would upgrade your amp wire..
