ok i had my subs and amp professionally installed a while back 4 ohm DVC, so i tried to rewire them to 1 ohm, and my amp is 1 ohm stable. so i did it and turned on the car and nothing works?? no electricity nothing, car wont even make a noise when i turn the key?? what happened?? Do i need to simply connect my battery to another cars
i never touched the battery so i dont think i need to tighten the clamp, it worked fine before. i was gunna jump start it when my dad got home, but i need to buy a new battery?
try cleaning the terminals, and then like juston said, charge your battery. it seems odd that it would just die with no crank at all though, unless you drained ALL the juice out of the battery while you were unaware. i would address these simple possibilities and then start to be concerned.
i have another quick question.. when i was rewireing, should i have unhooked the battery? and now when i turn the key should i hear the car at least attempting to start? b/c it makes no noise at all
yea i was thinking at also.. but if my battery was drained, and i turned the key wouldnt i hear something, maybe the starter.. or not neccesarily? im just hoping this isnt somehting serious
I don't see how rewiring the sub would affect your battery but just curious are you wiring in stereo or mono bridged? It may be stable to 1 ohm in stereo but not bridged mono. "when bridging the amplifier will see half the actual load" but i just don't see how it would effect the car if it wasn't even on. Was it working fine before you made the change? It just doesn't make sense.
chekc the fuses (especially the ones under the hood)..idk how but i somehow blew a fuse in my car and the thing was reving up and down like crazy then it would shut off and it turned out to be a blown fuse
alright.. got the car back today, they sed that the battery was completely drained and somehow got damaged, so i needed a new battery, thanks for the help guys
Did you watch them test it or are they screwing you? It sounds to me like you did have a fully dead battery though, since you said you had no power at all. Even if you have really dirty terminals, or the battery was drained low, you still have juice runnin. The dirty terminals make a bad connection, and the voltage will be lower, but you will still have some power running. You wouldn't be able to start the car, but lights and stuff should definitely work.
