Jl audio and Dimming...
 

I have Jl 1000, and 2x 500 wrms amps and the Jl w7 13.5 in a sealed box. I have an aftermarket HU and 4 aftermarket speakers...anyways i noticed the sound cutting out from the speakers everynow and then particulary when i hit my brakes or something like that...i also noticed that at times the low OHM light is on one of the amps...i clearly need more power...with JL equipment is there a particular way to go? Yellow top battery? a 2-3 Farad cap? both!? i have limited funds so what the best way to fix this problem?
thanks...

What kind of car?

'02 lexus IS 300

Sounds like a bad amplifier... hope you purchased authorized!

nah i bought it used :(

it was doing just fine when i first got it...could it be just lack of power that could be causing it?

Actually, sound likes an install issue. I would go to a shop to get it checked out.

yah i went and checked out the install...beam riders...they are very lazy...anyways...front speakers have bass worx RCA's and the rears have power acoustic...the rest is stock wires...ummm they looked at it and couldnt find anything...if its just the low ohm issue will a 1 farad cap help it? did i mention i have pretty intense dimming also...

Your voltage could be dropping too low and your amp might be cutting out if it has a safety. I noticed a big voltage drop too when i put on my brakes on my old car

i remember hearing that caps dont work too well with Jl amps is that true?

A newb says: big 3 and new battery or a secondary battery.
