[QUOTE="Street DreamsCC, post: 3130920, member: 548401"] do you have a 4cyl. or 6 cyl. the 4 cyl has a real small alternator. take 2 dmm s put one on the battery and one at the amp. Play it untill it stops and see what they are reading. If your reading 13-14v up front and 9-10 in back then you got a few problems. you either got bad 4ga wire as in corroided, a screw through it, or you have crap fuse that is allowing some power but not enough or bad connection at fuse holders........ Also did you do a resistance check of your ground wire?If not, put your dmm on ohms. Check it at the amp to the metal where you grounded it. (to compare take the 2 leads and touch them) Next play system and watch meter. When it cuts out is there more resistance? Also check it from amp directly to the battery. It is not always a power issue it could just as easily be a grounding issue. [/QUOTE]
