[QUOTE="MitchZ, post: 7410705, member: 578653"] My setup: 2 Kinetik HC2400's in the back Shurican BT80 or BT60 under hood 2 strands of 0 gauge front to back Big 3 done with 0 gauge 320A iraggi alternator Soundstream xxx 18 2 Sundown SAZ2000D's I am running these amps strapped at 1 Ohm. Heres the problem... I can charge the batteries to full, drive around bassing for 15-30 mins, then the amps will start a high pitched whine that gradually gets louder. Usually when I hear this, I pull over and pull the remotes out so I dont blow an amp, drive home and charge the batteries (they take about 45-2hours of charging on a 2 amp trickle charger to get fully charged again), then I can put the remotes back in and start bassing again. Today for the first time one of the amps went into Protect mode, so I turned the car on/off again and the amps were doing the same whineing, so I pull the remote out and drove home. First thing that comes to mind is maybe one of the batteries is dead.... I pulled each battery separately, and both kinetiks have never needed to be charged, while the front battery always needs to be charged when this happens. I used to have a stock battery under the hood, that I replaced with the shuriken because I thought this stock battery was the problem. Any thoughts or suggestions? Right now I'm thinking one of the kinetiks is dead, even though it never needs to be charged...? [/QUOTE]
