power outtage

[jrocket 10+ year member]

I just hooked up new system and have 2 amps one mono and one 4 channel and was wondering if i had to run 2 seperate remote wires or can i just go from 1 amp to another cause thats how i have it right now. I ask this because when the bass hits all speakers shut off for one second. very annoying. If just the mids and highs are on at high power everything is fine. please help.

just loop the remote. it'll be fine with two amps.

the problem that you are having is not due to the remote wire. It's called a voltage drop. You need to upgrade the Big 3 Wires and possibly your main power wire as well. Also look into a beefier battery to replace the stock one. And lastly, look into a HO alternator.

oh man sounds like alot of money and i just dumped all of it into what i just got. New h/u amps components and subs. I have 2 gage all the way to the back and slitting into 4 gage for about 2 feet. Any idea how much the upgrades you were talking about cost.
