Currently installed/Install date
August 2016:
Kicker 40KX800.5
JL Audio C2-570x (Rear)
Focal 165 AS (Front)
Rockford Fosgate Punch P1 Subs x2
November 2016:
Pioneer AVH-4300
The stereo runs great until I let off the gas (while in gear) then the system cuts out (amp/sound) deck/lights remain on. After clutching or touching the throttle the system comes back. Isolated the cutting out to the Amp shutting itself down due to a voltage spike 15-19v. This spike only happens in the cold
Issues accorded Prior to deck install, original thought was the stock deck was going out.
I am told the stock Alternator should not have an issue with a 800w amp.
I get a voltage range of 11-19v, but idles steady 13.6-13.9v despite engine RPM (tested 600-4500)
Things I have done:
December 15th 2016 I replaced the battery
March 9th 2017 I took the car to the dealership to get tested. (came back as Amp is drawing too much power)
Taken it in to the Stereo shop to check the installation
