[QUOTE="morotorium, post: 3371370, member: 580946"] My install has taken a crap on me; before I get into details, here are the major components: 93 Jeep Wrangler JVC KD-AVX11 HU Boss CH900 amp (1600 watt bridge 800 watt x2) 2 x 800watt max 400 watt roaming subs (don't ask the brand.. lol) For some reason, my amp started going into protection mode. At first if I kept the levels down, it would be fine until I turned them up past a certain point. Now it just goes to protection; I even have the RCA cables and speakers disconnected to try and isolate the problem. The rest of the system works fine, since I am running straight of HU. 1. Re-grounded amp to fresh ground point in pan underneath rear seat 2. Hooked up SPL 4 farad cap (I know i know, it was free and collecting dust in my attic..) 3. Re-grounded battery and engine with 1/0 Nothing. My cap is a fairly constant 14.1 (drops to bout 13.9 on car start) but my amp with just power wire, ground , and remote wire just goes to protection now. I've also tried my previous amp which is a Boss REV635, which is what I thought was the problem and purchased the new CH900 for, to no avail... Ideas? [/QUOTE]
