Subwoofer problems

SKyleS · #1 01-31-2005, 06:57 PM

Ok, right now I have some mighty bad Subs and Amp. Even though they are horrible, when I come toa light my deck resets because to much power is being drained and it can't stay on. How can I prevent this? A cap? Another Battery? A bigger alternator is out of the question... I just bought a 160amp alternator.. =P

P.S. What does everyone think of "PYLE" subs/amps?

Thanks again.

I think of them as "Pyle of crap". Ne ways, if your voltage problem is really that bad you should upgrade Big 3 wiring, yellow top battery. an with that alt you should be fine

dude with a 160 amp alternator you shouldbe able to get some good power to an amp... what kinda amp is it..

i dont like caps or even 2nd batteries (unless you have a TON of power)
upgrade the big 3/ get a better battery

I recently bought a $120 Canadian battery too. That's a lot for a battery. I'm not sure what it is to be exact.. It's a Pyle amp, i'm getting enough power its just my deck is restting on me because my subs are taking to much power..

dude that sounds way more like a weird wiring issue than a power issue.. if your battery is drained enough to completely draw every bit of power from your deck (thus clearing the memory) then your car would shut off. im nto a wiring expert but maybe someone can suggest a fix.

lol, funny thing, before I bought my new battery, my car WOULD almost shut off when my subs were going. lol.

how many watts rms is the amp

do you know the efficiency rating?

whats the fuse rating?

Not too sure of any of that. I bought it over a year ago knowing nothing about it except that it fit my subs.. lol.. this is the AMP I currently have though.

sounds like to me you wired your HU power & memory wires together (or maybe wired they backwards?). how did you connect your HU? if you used a wiring harness for your car all you have to do is connect the same colors from the radio harness to the car harness. they are color coded so you cannot mess up.

Your amp would have to be over 2000 watts for that 160amp alt to have problems. It's most likely a wiring problem. Pull out your deck and check everything. Then check the connection on the terminals. Make sure there is full contact and limited corrosion.

Yea I'm 99% positive that's not an electrical problem. recheck all your wires.
