NEED HELP whats happening??

[zachzchw 5,000+ posts]

yeah with the pioneer deck i have it allows me to look at the voltage as the system goes and it appears that the voltage drop makes the amp shut off to protect itself so yeah...what can i do about that? will an optima battery help or no? any other things maybe...let me know...

The voltmeter on the deck isnt really accurate.

Use a multimeter.

well would a capacitor help or no?

Hey, whats up. I'm the person who sold him the amp and subs. First of all the amp is mono, and well, it is a pretty big amp and pushes quite a bit of power. I'd wire it all up with 0/1 gauge and do the big 3 upgrade with 0/1 gauge as well. A optima shouldnt really be necessary with this setup, one of my friends has a similar one (runs at 850rms instead of the 900 on that one) and he just has all 0/1 gauge wiring and it hits hard and stays on. So just try upgrading your wiring, and lemme know if your having any other problems.

PS: a cap is really just a bandaid...really isnt going to do much.

might this be the kenwood kac 9102d? those amps have a reputation for not being 1 ohm stable, even though they claim to be.

No, the amp I sold is the KAC-9152D. I believe he told me hes going to wire them up in a 2 ohm setting, since the subs are 4 ohm dvc.

can not wire them to 2ohms eather 1ohms or 4ohms.

alright im gonna do the big 3 upgrade...is there anything else i can do to help or should the big 3 upgrade be enough...

I would check your wiring first........

 

[NeroInferno 10+ year member]

i checked the grounds and they were good...i dont know what else...

wiring meaning bust out your dmm and check your voltage on your power wire.....try wiring your subs to a 4 ohm bridged mode to your amp.....if you can though cause I dont know what impedence you have on your subs.....and set your gains accordingly

i'll see what i can do but yeah, same problem goin on but i'm workin on it...
