Help!!!! Fml

[Mr.meyhem 10+ year member]

just spent 10 hours wiring up my 09 honda civic. (hardest car to take apart EVER!!!!)

I put in new comps and a sub plus a LOC. but now when I'm driving the sound will cut out for long periods of time. but when i tap the break it will sometimes flick back on. I've checked all my connections. the amp still says it has power when the sound flick off. and i only have the sub running right now but i lose all sound. No idea what is causing this to happen.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

10 hours of wiring for a faulty system doesn't make a person happy... lol.

did you run any wires behind the brake petal under the dash if so maybe when you push the petal it pulls the wires causing it to short out the system

 

[Mr.meyhem 10+ year member]

i think there is enough slack behind the brake tho cuz i ran it up above the brake.

Did you keep the factory stereo

 

[winkychevelle 10+ year member]

check your rcas sounds like they got pinched or cut somewhere and or only making contact from time to time

 

[Mr.meyhem 10+ year member]

kept factory deck. beginning to think i spliced something wrong or the rca's r pulling on something behind my deck. ill double check run runs. but nothing looked like it was pinching. and it works perfectly fine when I'm in park.

bet you wired you remote wire to the brakes. move it to an ignition fuse and check it shoudnt take but a second to do also what kinda loc did you use? ifyou had on that needed a remote wire itself u mayhave wirethat wire to the wrong fuse

 

[Mr.meyhem 10+ year member]

its an audio pipe. i was going to use my pac i just got but that only had 2 rca's. i needed 4. so i picked one up from a local shop here in town. it was $30

Bad grounds will make your sounds cut out to so make sure you double chick all your wiring

How about the wire connections?

 

[Phoenix Risen 10+ year member]

check your stuff with a multi meter, im betting your honda has the eld system which only lets the alt charge some of the time. one of which is when your hitting the breaks,

what exactly are you running amp wise, and have you done any electrical upgrades?

 

[Mr.meyhem 10+ year member]

no eletrical upgrades yet. putting in a big 3 upgrade with 2/0 welding wire tho. i had a fusion active wedge in before with no issues.

Im running an apsm 1300 and a cadence 250.2 for amps

 

[Mr.meyhem 10+ year member]

im sick of f'ing with it so I'm paying an audio shop in town to fix it tomorrow lol. ik the guy and he's giving me a great deal.

if this is your first time I would keep trying to figure it out

the next install you do will be that much faster because you learned from your mistakes

sure I have blown fuses and a few head units from acting a fool. But I sure have saved thousands by building my own sub boxes, installing subs, etc
