With the car running and system and other accessories and lights OFF, try measuring the battery voltage, should be above 14. Your battery could just be weak, so there is no reserve capacity in the car's electrical system. You could have loose or corroded connections at the battery or amp, snug them up. Check amp ground wire too. Push lightly on each woofer cone and see if they move smoothly without scrape noises. A large capacitor might help, but is a "tweak" for a system that has good wiring.


Question about the subs. You said to check if I could hear scraping when I push on the subs. Well I do hear a slight scraping from one of my 15's. My question is could this be causing my amps to cut out or my subs to pop. Going to check the ground for the amps tomorrow. If that is not the problem then I really don't know what is. I would replace some of the batt. to alt. wiring but that seems irrelevant as this never happened before. Help please. TIA.
