[QUOTE="GlowstickNinja, post: 7556690, member: 637981"] OK, let me give you an overview of the system: Kinetik KHC1400 Battery Panasonic cq-8400u HU Kicker KX1200.1 Mono Amplifier Kicker L7 12" Subwoofer Fli Audio 4 channel 900W Amplifier (same as VIBE audio) 4 ohm components if front doors 4 ohm coaxial in rear doors Wiring: O gauge from battery positive to Kicker KX1200.1 Mono amplifier 150 AMP ANL fuse 6" from battery terminal Distribution block inline with 0 gauge going to Kicker KX1200.1 0 gauge ground from Kicker KX1200.1 to body chassis (paint stripped, connection solid) 4 gauge from distribution block to FLI audio 900w 4 Channel Amp 4 gauge ground from FLI audio Amp to chassis(paint stripped, connection solid) Interconnects: 10 gauge speaker wire from FLI 4 channel to each door JL Audio RCA's from head unit to Amplifiers opposite side from Power 10 gauge wire from Kicker amp to subwoofer Problem: When the FLI 4 channel is powering the door speakers, and the car engine is not running, no problems. When I start the engine I get cracking and cutout from the amp at med/high volume. Things I Know: Kicker mono amp has no distortion/cutout with engine on. All connections are tight and tidy Had a kenwood amp before this install, 350W, 2 channel to front speakers, no distortion with/without engine. Voltage is good, voltmeter shows 14.3 volts even at high volume/subwoofer pounding. So? What do you think is this issue? [/QUOTE]
