[QUOTE="fgump16, post: 7974986, member: 647864"] I have a 2010 Jeep Wrangler. I have installed Polk db6501 components, db651 coaxials, a JVC Arsenal KDA735BT and a Kenwood X450-4 to power the speakers. I have everything wired correctly, I've checked my fuses and ground, I have heavy enough wire too. The thing is, my system turns on, plays music on FM radio until I turn the volume to 18 which isn't loud at all, before my amp kicks off. The volume can go to about 16 on a CD before the amp kicks off. When I turn on the ignition, the red light comes on the top of the amp, but when I turn the volume to those levels, it turns off completely. My ground is on a seat bolt connected to the body also. I REALLY need help ASAP as I'm in from college on Christmas break and have limited time. My cousin will be at my house to help at midnight so I'd like some answers by then please. I haven't tried the gain yet but that may be it. I don't think its my speakers or speaker wires either. There may be a slight possibility it's my ground, remote lead, gain settings or such. Please give me your expert opinions! Thanks. [/QUOTE]
