Hello, I was wondering if a loose wire at the subwoofer box terminal can cause a blown fuse on the amp? This didn't happen to me, it's second hand information from a family member. So I'm not sure if I have all of the details but I'll tell you what I know... The amplifier is a Renegade...

Hello, I'm in the process of installing a Line Output Converter in my car since I decided to use the stock HU instead of an aftermarket one. I'll be using the LOC for my subwoofers only. I'm tapping into the rear speaker wires to connect the LOC instead of doing it behind the HU. So, here's my...

OK, thanks. When I looked up the specs on that amp I didn't notice that it isn't stable at 2 ohm bridged. I already changed the wiring back to 4 ohm configuration.

I do have the subs wired parallel at 2 ohms. They are bridged on the amp. How would I run the subs at 2 ohm and have them running on their own channel? Is it even possible? I swapped out the Raptor 4AWG with the Fosgate 8AWG and the problem has gotten better, but it's still there. I do agree...

I think it's 110 amps on this alternator.   ---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------   OK, here's what I did today. I tested the voltage at the battery terminals with the car ON and OFF with NO MUSIC. Both of those tests showed normal voltage...

I checked the gain with my multimeter and set it right where it should be. Now the bass ***** :-( and I'm still having the same problem as before... I'm just confused because when I test right at the battery terminals with the car ON and OFF the voltage levels are within range. It just seems...

Once I go set the gain with a DMM, if I'm still having the same problem what would you suggest? Do you think running a 8AWG (Rockford Fosgate) power and ground would make any difference? Do you think it could be a bad ground? I have it sanded and grounded to a seat belt bolt underneath the...

Alright, I've set gains with a DMM so I'll go ahead and do it again...

Alright, thanks for your help. So the 8 AWG wire would provide better voltage to the amp? Or is there some kind of conflict with using 4 AWG wire on an amp that uses 8AWG? I actually have some 8AWG Rockford Fosgate wires that I can install today. :-)

So you think getting higher quality power and ground wire and the big 3 would be a good start? Thanks!

So what would you recommend? I don't see why stock battery and alt can't handle the weak equipment I'm using right now... Thanks!

Hello, So I decided to test my voltage yesterday after dealing with dimming lights and the engine feeling sluggish sometimes while sitting idle with my music playing at loud volume levels. Here's what I have hooked up in my 2003 Nissan Altima right now. It's my old equipment that I'm using...

Sorry duplicate post...

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by D2 or D4... Here's some pictures I took to give you guys a better idea of how I have everything hooked up: I also took out the Lanzar amp and installed a Kenwood KAC-729S 2CH amp which is only rated at 200 watts RMS x 2 for a 4ohm load. But, the...

Bridged mode. I have one cable going to ch1&2 hooked to one sub and another cable hooked to the other sub on ch 3&4.
