ok if anyone has read my post about my amp clipping lately... i think i might of found the problem...

anyway long sotry short, i was daisy chaining my 4 channel amp ...kind of... i had the rca coming from the headunit, plugged into the front inputs of the amp, then i had the output from the amp daisy chained into the rear input... of the amp, and the rear channels were powering my midbass speakers

i was having a problem with (i thought) clipping, cause my mids would sound great, then at a certain level sound like mud (but cleanly).... so i took this old amp i had in my closet out, to run my midbass speakers... i hooked up the amp and the speakers were pounding, so i was happy.. and decided to connect the other amp for my uppermidrange/tweeter (through daisy chaining)

and thats when the same thing happened, when i daisy chained the amps... i lost alot of bass and all depth almost completely.. with the second amp not hooked up... worked fine again... so i tried the amps the other way around... same thing.. tried different wires... same thing...

anyway i thought at least one of my outputs would of been pre amped so i guess not...

is the signal just being eating up by both amplifiers and hurting output or possibly something else? i guess i gotta run another wire from the preouts on my HU ...? just making sure before i start ripping up my interior

i dont think its a power issue cause its only about 500ish watts

im just gonna bump this again even tho mokedaddy is helping me in anothe rpost (thanks again) but incase anyone else has any input i'd appreciate it

well i attached another rca from my HU, same problem, so i guess the only thing left is a power problem? or anything else anyone can think of?

I am trying to picture this all out.....

basically, when i connect two amps.. (daisy chained or seperate pre outs) i lose alot of power pushing my midbass speakers..., but overall im really not pushing alot of power... 500 watts at most?

my alt sucks (85) and my battery is what came with the used car, id ont even know what it is... but i thought almost any stock system could handle that amount of power...? only thing i have done is i groudned my battery better to my chasias
