when im driving my amp cuts off, no fuse blows, its as if when i put my foot down theres a power surge or something and it turns my subs off?? any one had this problem or know what it is??

um,

 

think maybe your alternator/battery.

 

 

does it only happen when your music/subs are turned up loud?

no it usually happens when i floor it

nope, i read another post on a google site saying that if its a big amp, which mine is 4000 watts, then i need a thick poer cable as it need more power, so i take it cus my power lead is like a string of spaggetti, that when i put my foot down there isnt enough power getting to the amp maybe?? and so amp shuts itself off.

do u have a power cap 4 ur amp ???

yes but not wired it up as im unsure how to?

ahh there a bit tricky to set up but thats wot u want bud stores the power the amp needs will have a look 4 u see if theres any where that shows u

hope this helps bud and read the bit at bottom about charging the cap very inportant and if u dont have the resistor u should be able to get one from maplins. so just hope it helps cheapest and easy way see as u already have the bits

cheers mate, hopefully this does the trick,

cap is easy,

 

 

just have posotive from the battery to the + on the cap,

 

then another seperate wire from the + on the cap to the + on the amp

(so 2 wires on the +)

 

 

the - on the cap just goes to the earth of the car then.

cheers bud

Bad earth

Bad earth

 

 

the earth point is the main one in the boot with another earth wire connected

your still going to have to charge the power cap befor use

no problem i will do that first
