Will pay for help.

just installed a 2.0 cap and ran new lightning 4ga wire and now my speakers are not working too well the subs really kick but not much sound.I have a R/F mono block for my subs and a earthqauke 4ch amp for my fill.Any ideas?


I have tryed everything i can think of and im really frustrated.Is there anyone in the GTA that can help me figure this out and tune my system while their at it?..

Let me know.

Thanks,Ed.

Thanks for the reply.Everything powers up,Both amps,cap,HU,EQ.I ran the 4ga power to the cap and then one 8ga from the cap to one amp and another 8ga power line from the cap to the other amp.Grounded the cap with 8ga and grounded the amps with 8ga.I have some sound from the fill speakers.
I am out of patience with this set up.....

Set up includes

2 10" R/F subs in a sealed box.
R/F 5x7 power series in the rear
R/F 6.5 comps up front
Pioneer premier H/U
Audio Art eq
R/F mono block
Earthquake 4ch
SPL 2.0 cap
Lightning power lines 4ga and 8ga.


Thanks for the input.

Ed.

Um i have a cuple questions for you

1,did your rear fill work before hooking up the cap

2,were they running off the 4 ch amp

3,did you happen to play with the HU settings at all when the cap was installed.

I know of alot of people that have installed caps,and for some reason put the fade all the way to the front.

If you say they did work before hand check your HU settings

also im in Port Hope if you need a hand one day

I also have a scope for setting the gains and some nice soft ware for tuneing systems.
