[QUOTE="Mick87, post: 1678838, member: 567380"] Heres the deal: I am running 2 12" Kicker Comp CVR's powered by a Kenwood KAC 9152D amplifier (450x2 @2ohms). and a shitty sony F5700 HU ( it is being replaced with an Alpine 9815 in 2 days). When I crank my subs, sometimes they will just shut off. But when i turn the volume back down, they will start hitting again. I am currently running 4Ga throughout the car and i have a 1.5 Farad Cap. I have NOT done the BIG 3 yet cause I am not clear on what to do exactly. Could someone please explain what is causing this? And could someone please give me a more detailed explanation of how to setup the BIG 3, it would be appreciated?? I have an upgraded battery that has 750 cranking amps, and a new alternator (not sure on amps) Would bigger power wire do the trick? or is something else wrong? Everything sounds fine when i crank it but when i really start pushin it they shut off and when i turn the volume back down they start hitting again. What could be the problem? Thanks Mick [/QUOTE]
