What up guys!Alright everything in my signature is current when I turn the volume up past 25 on a hard or deep bass note everything shuts off for like 3-5 seconds and comes back on but then I have to turn it back down.I'm using stock battery,stock alt,no big 3 yet,no additional batteries,and using 1/0 kicker hyperflex wire.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

have you checked your voltages with system on at that level? also check your grounds

'Tis your problem. You do not have enough current to support it in my opinion, being that 1400W is well, 115-120A when you're done with efficiencies and all. At least throw a battery in there. Also the Big 3 in 1/0.

I'll have to check that out.

A 2nd battery or add another one.What about the big 3 with 4 gauge or should I not even go there?

With that system you should be ok with just one good batt. (unless you plan on listening with car off)

It sounds like your amp is going into protect mode. Most likely due to low voltage. Probably a bad ground or your batt is going bad.

You can get your batt tested at autozone/etc. Double check/redo your grounds.

Well, the fact that his amp is drawing more than his alternator can provide makes it kind of hard to maintain while up either way. 1500W off of stock with 0 upgrades with no problems would be hard to believe imho. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Though checking ground is probably it, I would highly recommend another bat of some form.

Eh, get it done in 1/0 to get it over with.

Thanks to all! Looks like i've got some work to do.
