I know it cant be the cd deck's rca out is not blown nor the amplifiers because i used a different cd deck and amplifier that works in one car but not this one, i even changed the plug ins that go into the cd deck to see if maybe one of them broke on the inside AND tried running a different...

I have a car that's had a system in it for months with everything working fine. One day the sub woofers both stopped working. I immediately did a process of elimination. All fuses are fine. The grounds are fine. Tried a different amplifier. Tried a different CD deck. Tried different sub...

Basically in another post I discovered that my amplifier was capable of being wired down to 2 ohms for several months, never having any problems, and one day while driving to school after only a few minutes of driving, it suddenly went into safe mode. Ever since then the amplifier just goes into...

I knew something was up. That ground has been that way for months and never caused an issue. Sure now its perfect, but before it was still grounded nicely. The problem is this. My amplifier is not letting me wire my subs down to 2 ohms anymore. This amplifier has been fine in 2 ohms for months...

Okay I just got done with all the testing that I could. I checked the subwoofers and they are working. I checked the power wire, the REM wire to make sure they are getting power. I did find one issue, the second amp that I was using somehow broke since the last time I used it. The last time I...

Also, it's pretty clear the next step is checking to see if the subs aren't or are blown, how do I do this with the dmm. I have one at home so I'm going to drive one of my subs home and see if this is or isn't the case.

Is the inline fuse specifically the fuse located on the amplifier? If that's the one you wanted me to check, that was one of the first things I did, on both amplifiers I checked the fuses and both of them were fine. However to the other post, from what I have read from other people with the...

I also don't have a different Sub woofer at hand, or a dmm at the moment. I can get one relatively soon, which will probably be the next step, but I can say right now that I have pulled my sub woofers out and all the soldering of the wiring is still good, and all the wiring is correct and in...

and by brand new, I mean 3 months ago about for both of them.

I got a high powered alternator and a brand new battery. I mean its obviously worth checking but everything else in my car is having no problems running, power wise. I have 4 gauge wiring from the battery and a 4 gauge ground.

I would like to add that I did put a new CD deck in like 4 days ahead of this, and it has been putting more power out, its a 100x4 Channel, although the RMS is probably only 4 or 5 watts more than the one I had before, I do notice the difference in power in my car, and a day before it was having...

I've done my reading online, and I can't seem to find anyone with the same issue, people keep suggesting basic things like making sure everything is connected. Here's my story. I have had my system installed for months, worked great with no problems. One day driving to school though, the Sub...

When im running my amp 2 ohm, it makes me headlights flicker quite a bit when the bass hits. I've heard that a good ground for the battery can stop this? Is this true?

I've wondered about this for awhile, I know that pretty much all cd decks are 50Wx4, including mine, and mine just happens to be 18WRMSx4. Ok, so my 6x9 are 45 watts rms and my 5 1/4's are 35 watts rms. My cd deck volume goes to about 40, but anything past about 35 makes the speakers start to...

Thank you, I actually tried using a maxi fuse 80 amp and it did last a lot better but it still popped after a few minutes of use. I just bought an AML fuse holder and a few 150amp ANL fuses off of amazon. Thanks for the help guys!
