[QUOTE="maddog1927, post: 6593078, member: 618293"] 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. [/QUOTE]
