electrical problem???
Ok now i think i really have a problem....tonight i'm coming home from work, i go to turn up the system and it made a sharp pop sound (not super loud) then it continued to act as it did last night but much worse (can't sustain any hard bass hits)
it won't sustain any bass now, hell i can put on something with basically no bass and once the bass kicks in for more than like 2 seconds it drops all bass but continues to play the music...then even if i don't touch anything and leave it at the same volume it will eventually kick back in
little bit about my system:
- 4ga from battery back to amp
- 4ga ground, grounded under the back seat
- replaced my shitty walmart RCA's i originally had with some monster cable RCA's - (6months ago or more, not a new change)
- Kenwood KDC-X890 head unit
- KAC-X812D amp
- 2x 12" Kicker Comp VR subs
stock battery obviously...there is an alpine fuse (don't know much about it) about 12" +/- just off the battery, nothing else between the batt and the amp
I've had issues with the fuses (40 amp) in the amp itself blowing when i first got the amp but i believe it was because the gains were to high on the amp
they are running @ 4ohm i believe
i'm not sure what else i can give for info but I NEED HELP!!!
thanks
