Hi,

So the other day while i was driving to work my deck just powered off, i did not think much of it so i kept driving on. as i got closer to my work my deck just completely lost power 3 more times. while i was at a stop light idling for about 2 minutes right when the light went green my car completely lost power then gave me a prompt light of DRL which i know just means day time running lights. i quickly threw the car back into park and started it just fine with no problems. that night on my way home from work i was pulling into my community and a good song came on so i decided to crank my subs and upon the first drop (while i was driving) the car powered down again but this time it just rebooted itself while i was driving. i believe it has something to do with the power. the amp i'm running is a 575-600 wtt at 1 ohm or 300-2 ohm which i am using 2 ohm. i have HID lights currently installed too. If anyone can please help that would be much appreciated, i will be taking the car to a mechanic soon here but until then it would be nice to know at least what the heck is going on.

thanks for now!!
Mike

 

Sounds like you've got an electrical short/ground issue. Since you've modified the car, its anyone's guess what is truly wrong.

 

[UPDATE] so i was driving home from work and it did it again, my deck kept dying then while i was driving everything shut off again. the needles of my car speedometer and just about all the others started bobbing up and down. unfortunately i didn't get a video of this but i have god a video of my dash and such shutting off. check this out:

> Toyomatt84 : to answer you i'm pretty sure my ground is fine as i got my good friends dad who is a mechanic to help me set my subs up. he closed his shop early to help me and re-checked everything before i left. he also dealt with the ground i did not even touch it, i can add a picture tomorrow because its already about midnight here. im not saying its impossible but i think its less likely. could it have something to do with my alternator ?

 

After watching the video, it seems like your alternator is not performing like it should be. Its almost as if the ELD within the alternator is not putting out a consistent amount of current.
