cutting out

[marc novataken]

my sub keeps cutting out while im driving. im thinking it might be cos the earth is on painted metal not bare metal like it should be. but my friend thinks im asking too much from battery as i have electric windows and boot popper kit as well. what is most likely?

[Gibbo]

i think its because its not on bare metal
try takeing paint off see if that helps

[Gibbo]

i dont think u asking to much for the battery because you not useing boot poper ect..when you driveing

i had the same problem on my scooby and mine was the earth wire on painted metal

it is a bad earth an sort it out before using it can cause fire hazards i bet your amp gets well hot aswell

[marc novataken]

yep blown up 2 amps sfter using them for about half hour each jus listening on normal volume not loud

i have the same problem m8. ive been told its many things including my earth but wen i set the earth up i cleared all the paint off and its still cutting out. my heaters dont work and ive heard that that can be due to earth aswell????????

my heaters dont work
centre vent? lol

Sounds like either an earth problem, or power supply. Is your fuse on the amp power cable good? Does the amp still have power when it cuts out? Does it get hot?

[marc novataken]

yep still has power dont know if it gets hot cos they blow up after about 5 mins
