appreciate that if u guys will take a look at them......spend alot of money and dont wanna let it waste

 

Does the amp have a 'protection' LED that is lighting up when this happens ?

 

If I had a $1 for everytime I heard that...lol

 

I think I found your problem.

 

wouldnt be surprised if it was a bad ground.

 

i go for this one aswell, or maybe the cap is wired wrong or theirs not enough supply power? maybe the amp shuts down when the input power is to low?

bah, i still say check ground first, and is ground same size as power?

 

then throw out the cap.... its just another thing t go wrong, and double triple check all the wiring! that means check everything three times, then do it again three times just to be sure...

 

oh thank u so much to all u guys for helping me out.....i m gonna do all the things ritenow and check wat is wrong....as along as i think its either cap or either its ground....so i m going ritenow to check up and wil post again if something goes wrong.....thank u again to all....

 

and ya i jus bought SPIRAL GRAD CAR BATTERY for 200$....and i don think so if power supply should be the problem...wut do u guys say?

 

what is your crossover (LPF) frequency set at?
