I can't figure for the life of me why my system isn't bumping

I can't figure out for the life of me why people come on here and expect us to already know what they have.
Post specs or gtfo.

LMFAO

not tryn to be a dick but i think you should have someone instal that for you.

Thanks for the input but I really wanna try and do this myself because I wanna know how to do this stuff in the future. I'm pretty sure it's the amp somehow.

Plus, Best Buy is pricey lol.

Sometimes at higher volumes the headunit would turn off then come back on then turn off then come back on etc etc until i turned the volume down. I don't know what that means tho.

bad voltage

So I need a bigger alt or what

you need to switch the master/slave switch to input slave. im 99.9% sure you have it set to master. i have the exact same amp and had the same problem

get a dmm test your battery if it is fine try the "big 3" if that doesnt work cheapest bet might be buy a red top for under the hood? or upgrade your alt

Eh, Are you sure? I've switched that around before.

I think I'll have to do the "Big 3" or at least want to do it before spending some* serious money on an alt.

no sound at all?? how you have it wired? i would LOL if it was a stupid thing like one of the speaker wires came out or something...

 

[MikeCole89 10+ year member]

it could just be your battery...i dont see you drawing that much current that you would have to upgrade your alt? just that one amp and a w7?

i have a battery in my hood/trunk 4 12"s off 2 500.1's and im running off a stock alt..

whoa whoa playa. Alternator is the last thing you wanna do. Yes your electric seems horrible with the drops but like I said I would get a new fuse holder and fuse, then go from there. But don't do anything until you switch Amps, and check your epectric. But if and only of it's your electric get a new better upfront battery...

Nope, I mounted my sub last night and the wires are in the sub I'm sure of it. All I did was set the sub down into the hole of the box after wiring it...

And no, no bass at all except the crappy bass coming from my rear and door speakers.

Yeah just the one amp and my one sub.

Alright I'll do all of the above. And I should probably do the big 3 even if I do get a new battery right? It would probably be best.
