After a few hours of troubleshooting, looks like it's the amp. Now the low ohm light is stuck on. I put the 9813 back in and it too sounds distorted.

I did re-adjust the gains and I set the crossovers on the amps since the 9813 used to control those.

I bought the X001 yesterday. I knew the sound processing would not be as tweak able, but I didn't expect the distortion I'm getting....can't crank it up without distortion. I have a JL 300x4 so amp isn't an issue. My question is, if I get a sound processor - PXE-H650, would that alleviate the...

Thanks for the reply. Good, then I'll leave things as they are - the flickering doesn't bother me. I was just concerned that the battery would die and I'd end up stranded. The alt does seem to be doing its job then keeping the battery charges because all is well so far. No I don't want to...

I have the Polk DB6500's in the front, DB650's in the rear doors of my Suburban, powered with a JL 300/4. I listen to the same stuff you do. They get loud enough to hurt. I used to have them run with a JL 450/4, but returned the amp for the 300/4 because I didn't need/couldn't use all the...

I was checking out a 200amp alternator for my 1999 Suburban. I see prices from $230 up to $750? What would be the difference? ie Ohio Generator & H-O-Alternator are in the $750 range; mralternator.com is $250. They're all new, not refurbished, so why such a price difference? I have a...

Here's a reply I got from JL when I asked why the owners manual reccommended short ground, but they told the installer otherwise: "Mike, Thank you for your interest in JL Audio. In the owners manual, you are going to find a recommendation to have the ground as short as possible. This can be...

JL contradicts themselves then. I re-read the manual and the manual states a short ground to the chassis. What is the reasoning then behind the long ground? I'll check the HU ground then too. No eq or other processor, just an Alpine 9813, 2 amps, 4 speakers, 1 sub.

I had a new amp installed yesterday (JL 450/4) - my 2nd amp, and since the 1st amp (JL 500/1) was running off 8 gauge wire, they wanted to run 4 gauge. So now I have 2 runs of 4 gauge, 1 to each amp; but he also ran 2 runs of ground back to the battery. I have read numerous times that ground...
