Running power without an amp

I recommend checking all of your connections, power, ground, etc... Make sure they aren't loose or anything.

ok i took the inline fuse out and in the middle of traffic the shit cut out on me and i was luckily able to restart right back up so i took the power cable completely off

What? Oh, the car died in traffic, is that what your trying to say? Sounds like you have more problems there than the stereo.

Answer the following and I can help you.

What are you getting for voltage at the battery with the car off?

What are you getting for voltaage at the battery with the car running?

If the voltage doesn't go higher when you start the car then it could be your alt.

Sounds like your al isn't charging your battery...if it was your voltage should jump up...try that same test on another good running car and youll see what I mean.
