im having problems with getting the right voltage to my amp. over the past few months it has been cutting off when you turn it up to a certian volume. its been getting worse and worse over the past few months as in cutting off at lower and lower volumes. i have 2 JL 12W6's in a scion tc with an alpine PDX 1.1000 amp. worked fine when i first put it in. i just bought a new optma yellow top and i was told by a few people that would solve the problem. when the amp shuts off its shutting off at around 10 volts. when it shuts off the voltage at the battery is still high 13's. all the connections are good. grounds good. everything else. anyone have any ideas on whats going on with this? also my amp gets really hot. seems like its hotter than it should be. could i just have a problem with the amp?
I fixed it. It was a bad connection in the fuse box under the hood. It was melted plastic on one side that I had to clean up. As for the amp being hot, everythings wired right. I think it was cuz of the problem I had before
yeah I did. That's how you don't blow your amp. My fuse is in a box. It's wierd not a normal fuse. 100A fuse. No I'm not a retard. What other fuse would I connect it to smart guy.
