[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8863135, member: 689267"] Caps are kind of fading out of favor as Li-on cells are becoming the go to electrical upgrade in many instances. Connections could be the culprit but generally they are inadvertent at any volume level or when you hit a bump or they are on or off, nothing inbetween. 4 gauge CCA might be an issue, but not OFC. If your running pure copper, should be fine with 4 gauge up to the 80-90 amps you could potentially draw. The fact that the issue was mitigated by a cap could also mean that you jiggled something and momentarily re-connected it until it vibrated loose again. If all else fails, you may have an issue with something that has become loose in the amp. I assume it's still in warranty? I could not see what you indicate you put inline, the link to Amazon stuff doesn't stay in place if you edit your response, it just defaults to the Amazon home page. Check all the fuses too, could have a faulty one. [/QUOTE]
