So I just installed a Infinity Kappa 5 in my ’06 Dodge Quad cab. I am having troubles with it “cutting out”. It occurs at high volume, also at lower volume when the sound is abrupt, like songs that have an abrupt intro.
Thing I have checked out:
Heat: Happens regardless of the amp temp.
Ground: Used Jumper cables directly to the battery.
Power: I have ran 0 gauge power, and ground. It is hooked to 2ea. optima red tops. I have not double checked the power using a jumper cable.
Speaker wiring: I have used new wire appropriately or oversized to the speakers, I have not tied into any OEM wiring past the amp.
Speakers / wiring: Is there a test like an ohm test to check to see if there is a speaker/wiring problem? How do I do it?
Compatibility: I am running the stock stereo, with a Scosche SLC4 Speaker Level Input converter, Infinity Kappa 5 amp, 10” punch 1, Infinity 6 x 9 front door speakers, and infinity rear door speakers I can get the model numbers later.
Do you see any compatibility issues?
The previous amp was an el cheapo profile, It quit after 3 years of hard service.
Any ideas on what to check would be appreciated.
