You're not supposed to have a fuse by your battery? I thought you were?

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.

Ok he posted what he has and now u don't give him any hlep. What was the point of posting that when your not gonna reply back. Was it to seemcool being a di ck or to get ur count up.

your suppose to have a fuse next to your battery. But check your fuse holder and your fuse. Your amp will come on(hence the green light) with only a small current but want push unless it gets enough voltage to push the subs. Switch out the amps with your pervious one, and get a new fuse holder and upgrade your fuse.

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

when you had the alpine amp hooked up would you get bad volatge drops??

EDIT: ALWAYS put a fuse within 18" of your battery

Alright thanks man. I have a fuse within like 8 inches of my battery and it's a 60a.

I'll hook up the other amp to see if that works and get a bigger fuse for out back.

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.

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.

So I need a bigger alt or what

 

[BoxdGM 10+ year member]

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..
