Amp Kill Battery??

[NFLNetwork 10+ year member]

Hi, I just bought a 2 channel amp (300 watts). I also purchased a new car battery about 6 months ago...and I've had no problems with the battery at all. Anyway, last week I got the amp installed, yesterday my car wouldn't start for 10 minutes. Could it be my amp? Has anyone else had this problem.

sounds like something is draining your battery. Where did u hook up ur remote at?

i dont know, it was installed by tweeter. But the guy was a pretty good installer (not a hack)...so he knew what he was doing.

i would not demand anything. You do not know it is their fault. And going in thinking like this is going to simply piss them off and you do not want someone that you were a dick to with no concrete reason to be working on your car.

Has it died more then once? And did you have to jump it or did it eventually crank up? If no jump was needed i have a hard time believing it was the install. If its only happened once check all your doors and check everything electrical in the vehicle to make sure that the dead battery was not mistakenly your fault. After all this is done if it dies again then take back to tweeter.

im sayin if it wasnt happening b4...it could be from the system. I didnt really mean demand, i ment just check over it and make sure the system isnt pullin anything when the car is off.

were you playing it with the car off? I know with mine 600 watts rms even with the car idaling i can drain the battery so fast that the car stalls out trying to charge it.

Check to see if the amp is shutting off?

Could be a loose connection.
