[QUOTE="Plutoman, post: 5956070, member: 601528"] Alright. This post is for my friend's 300ZX, he's running a single Jensen amp. He got it cheaply off a friend when his friend stopped using it, he doesn't have a lot of money, so getting a new amp is out. If he can't get it working, then he's just running it off the HU. Situation - 600W Jensen amp - supposedly rated for 150 watts RMS at 2 ohms times four channels. He's running infinity coaxials that are 2 ohm speakers, gains at minimum, because they're rated for 60 watts RMS. As he's playing, the amp will cut in and out. Usually on bass hits, but not always. You can tell when the amp light flicks on and off. Sometimes it just seems like it's skipping on a cd, but then at other times it just cuts completely off for a few minutes. He's got a nice JVC HU, which is pretty new. Suggestions? His battery is pretty old - I wondered if it was that. The car's an '86, so the alternator could be going out. I'm wondering about power draw. It's a small amp, though, so I'm not sure. Trying to figure out the cheapest solutions here. [/QUOTE]
