RESOLVED: car/truck audio tech help needed
« on: July 20, 2010, 11:19:37 am »
I have 2 12" kicker comps connected to a 600 watt amp and also ran through a voodoo 1.2 farad 24v surge capacitor.

  The system worked fine until I changed out the old dead batterys with new 2 new battery's and now I have no bass the radio works and the speakers work and I can feel the 12's are getting regular radio power but nothing from the amp or capacitor so I think it is either the amp cap or both.

I may have just blown a fuse but I recently got the vehicle and dont know to much about the system part is just worked before lol.

does the cap need to be disharged and then charged or did I ruin it by switching the battery straight up?

Sounds like you may have disconnected the power for the sub amp when you switched batteries. There should be a fuse inline at the battery for the amp as well, check it too.

No need to discharge the cap either BTW

yeah I disconnected eveything and redid all the wiring ends and made sure they were all back on there tight I will check the fuse though becuase I got a nasty spark out of the positive that the fuse for the amp is on for that battery side.
