MisterLDR Silver Member Username: M0nstar Toledo, OH U.S. Post Number: 192 Registered: Dec-08	Posted on Tuesday, March 31, 2009 - 13:14 GMT I have a pioneer premier DEH-P500UB HU. for the highs i have a kenwood KAC6404 (pushing a set of kicker DS5250 and a set of kicker DS6930). for the lows i have an RD1000.1 (pushing 2 15" CVR D4 @ 1ohm). i have 4ga. wired back to the trunk and then i put it in a D block to 2 8 ga. wires for both amps. then i have an 8 ga. wire from both amps to the same ground. about a week ago my highs were being dumb. the would cut out at about vol. 18/62, but the subs would play all the way up to 62 (not that i turn it up to 62). so i unhooked everything in the trunk.. EVERYTHING. i tookboth amps out, unhooked all wires, then put everything back in. then it all worked fine. NOWWW (a week later), i can play music for a bit but then my highs will cut out and a few seconds later the subs will too(which makes me think its not a remote wire problem behind the HU). I can turn them up to whatever, but after a minute or 2 they cut out. I checked and neither amp is turning on. i my connections are all good, my remote wire is fine. any ideas on what is wrong?

Have you checked the remote wire yet? Maybe it could be a loose RCA connection. Or maybe you are trying to run too much power on too small of gauge wire? Is the amp actually shutting off when this happens? Or is it jumping into protect? Or is it just loosing signal? This will determine what the problem is.

MisterLDR Silver Member Username: M0nstar Toledo, OH U.S. Post Number: 195 Registered: Dec-08	Posted on Tuesday, March 31, 2009 - 18:20 GMT ok, so i just went and bought a 0 to 4 ga. D-block. (1 0 in, 4 4 out). I also bought 3 ft. of power and 3 ft. of ground cable. my plan is simple, as well as half baked: run the 4 ga. from the batt to the zero ga. input. run the new 4 ga. power to the RD1000, and run the same 8 ga. to my kenwood. then i'll ground both of them to the same spot. any constructive criticism on this obama-rigged plan?
