Powering dow
Monday, December 18, 2006 9:51 PM
i just hooked up my system but now i am having problems with the system. When i crank it the system it shuts the whole system down then turns right back on. idk what it could be. when im driving it is fine i can go as loud as i want its only when it is at idle or park. i was reading something about the alt does not produce enough amps till after 2000rpms or something like that. so maybe the system is drawing to much power and shutting it down. idk someone help.

i got
In dash tv
kicker 600.1
kicker L7
and 2 after market rear speaker ( cant rem the name) if it matters

Correct, use 14g or better, and get it as close to the deck as possible. Also, make sure the amp ground is equal to or larger than the power.
