Power Problem?

[Ryguy588 10+ year member]

So I have an infinity basslink and cadence 4 channel 400w amp hooked up to 1 8 gauge kicker run. The Basslink is 200w class d.

At higher volumes the bass seems to almost cut out. I was wondering if this is because the wire isnt supplying enough power. I have it hooked up to a 50a fuse and thought that if it wasnt blowing fuses then it was getting enough power. I have a 4 gauge knu kit sitting at home and was wondering if running a 4 gauge lead and ground from the battery to the distribution block in the trunk would solve this problem.

Is it even possible to underpower without a blown fuse? Thoughts?

Check your grounds.

They are good. Only happens at high volumes and then the bass cuts out randomly for no more than 10 seconds and then finally comes back...
