Question
hello, i have installed a alpine headunit, along with a mono jbl amp -1100rms, and also a hifinocs 15" sub -750rms. when i play the music very loudly, the bass cuts out from the subwoofer, the speakers continue to play. why is this? it is the amp or the sub? also my headlights dimm when a song with alot of bass is played. how can i solve this problem? thanks. btw- ive got a 1.2 opel corsa.
the jbl amplifier needs 12 volts 90 amps your full electric system in the car is under 65 amps
when the amplifier see voltage of 11.0 volts it turns off
so there is nothing wrong with your system
just go to the autoparts and buy a battery mount in the trunk next to the amplifier or very close
if you drive like crazy secure the battery
also if you have a capacitor unplug it and give it away
good luck
