[QUOTE="JohnnyZ, post: 7630955, member: 635208"] Hi Guys, Everything has been running superb until a few nights ago. I hop into the car, hear my subs, turn the volume up to 12, sub cuts out. I go to the trunk and see the low voltage indicator light on. I turn the car off, rinse and repeat same problem. Sometimes I can literally blast the sub too for a short while and it will not cut out. This leads me to believe it's an electrical problem not the amp. The sub has been pounding for the month I have it with no issues whatsoever. The battery is only a few months old. I have a cap in the mail that I was going to try for shits and giggles but I am lost in to what way I should approach this. I haven't used the volt meter yet to check anything. My questions: What is the likely hood that the amp actually gave out? What approach should I take with a volt meter? Things I have done: Checked / cleaned off all grounds (minus the alternator) Remount power cables My current setup: JL 1000.1 JL 13.5 W7 / Huge Ported Box Eclipse 3 Ways RF T600.4 (80 (4 x 20) AMP Fuses) Pioneer Indash 4 Gauge Wiring wherever applicable 100AMP Fuse before battery 10 Farad Cap not installed yet Thanks for the help in advance!
