I figured the same exact thing so I ignored his thoughts lol. Nothing personal bro

Well I found out it was indeed my signal sensitivity that was causing my amp to overheat. Turned it to the point it said for bridged and have had no other problems. After the blown kicker; I then bought off craigslist a sony xplod 1200w sub. I wanted a cheap fix and didnt want to wait for...

I will go to autozone today to have them test it. What wiring could be wrong?? eidt** Went to autozone, it started raining so I couldnt have them load test the battery. Anyways while under heavy load, i tested the battery (engine and all accessories running) and it read 12.2 and actually dipped...

after driving around and bumping music with headlights, heated seat, wipers, blower, I decided to test the power at the amp once again. After driving and such the voltage was 12.6 and dropped to 12.5 when the sub slightliy hit. I really think the alternator is weak.. anyone else? I restate, 12.6...

the alt read 13.7 while under load.. I read its suppose to be 14.2-14.7 Mind you i took the reading without the subwoofer hitting... so I can only imagine the voltage dropped. I have to test during the day when i can bump it.

it happens lol, and im not sure man. I havent paid much attention to the dome lights lately. I find it odd how it changes brightnesses when the cars off.. hopefully someone will know whats up when they see the multimeter readings :/

Ok I have returned with some multimeter readings.... With the car off and all accessories off the battery measures 12.6 With the car started and running, it reads 14 After these reading I drove around and Bumpeeddd music as loud as my system goes. Almost 0 headlight dimming, just gauge...

I have no camera or way to transfer the picture from my phone. I think I found it. Its yellow, says 20, and has v= sign but the bottom half of the = is dotted. I will check voltage when its not RETARDEDLY pouring out :P and misterdeadeye, yes my ground is connected to bare metal. I scratched...

Does anyone know what setting on the multimeter to use.. its like encoded with symbols and crap haha no indication of just voltage!

Could the wire sizing be the cause? I also grounded from the negative terminal to the chassis with non audio cable wiring. I think it was electrical wiring lol, just thick strands of copper. Just like the stock battery cable. I'm gonna try to check voltage. Thanks for your reply.

Now my headlights dim and my amp overheats. I'm starting to think I have a bad battery. I have a sony xplod 1000w 2 ch amp bridged to 1ch 400W RMS.... 12 sony xplod sub 1200w, sony xplod head unit, stock bose speakers and amp. Now the reason I think my battery is dead is because, when I have my...

I think it was a bad ground from the battery terminal to the chassis, I have taken care of that. And I have also taken care of the muffler issue for a whole $8. Bought a chrome tip, slid it over the broke pipe, and aimed it downwards . Saved like $200. I will check what ohms I have my sub wired...

I have a 0GA ground, and no it does not get hot at all! None of my wires get hot actually.. just the amp.. but i think its cause the sub was blown lol

Hey everyone I would like to report the cause of my problems.... a blown subwoofer! :'( I noticed it didnt sound right, was hitting super hard, then would only hit at half power... so i checked the cone.. there is resistance on it.. and when I moved it with my hand I had smoke come out of the...

No its nice and cool.. well a bit warm but not like cook an egg hot like the floorboard.. Now my only problem is that my amp is overheating.. idk why.. I have the XPLOD low tuner set to +7, subwoofer +10, and 0.3v signal, which corresponds with my .3v head unit And sorry to everyone who I have...
