Just the other day, my system started acting up. I have never had a problem before in almost 2 years now. I did everything myself and thought I did a good job but obviously not. I have 2 JL 15w3-d2 sealed subs off of a Boss 1900 HC Powerdrive amp(

The subs are cutting out but the highs are. I have a Pioneer deh350 deck and the volume maxes out at 62. I can only turn my radio up to around 30-35 before the cutting out begins. .

What does "the subs are cutting out but the highs are" mean? Drying the system out is not the only answer to a problem like this.

Did any beer get into the amp? Did you find any moisture in the amp?

If you did just drying it out will not fix it. Beer and other liquids leave a deposit when they are dried. When you are talking about a circuit board and how close the different wires are, any residue that conducts electricity can cause a problem. You will have clean the internal parts of the amp with a lint free cloth, and a cleaning solution, that will not leave any residue.

Are the highs connected to the amp? Are they cutting out?

SOUNDS LIKE TO ME YOUR FRIEND WOULD BE BUYING YOU A NEW AMP......

I meant the subs *ARE NOT* cutting out but the highs are. No actual beer got into the amp, possibly moisture from the cans when they went from cool to warm. I have not seen any moisture on the amp, it is really hard to tell. But i will remove the top of the amp and clean them with the lint free cloth and cleaning solution.

YES the highs are cutting out! That's where I dont know what is going wrong when all the highs are cutting out too. They have never cut out before just running off the HEU. No I do not have an amp for my highs anymore because it was stolen.
