|
|
any ideas here?
I have the wiring like this:
2 batteries one wire runs from the main battery ground to secondary ground.
another wire runs from main battery pos-> switch -> secondary positive
amp(phoenix gold 900x5) is hooked to the secondary battery's terminal
headunit is hooked to the main battery as i didnt mess with any of the boats wiring.
my amp runs all the speakers( 2 alpine componenets, 2 kicker 6.5's, 2 12 JL subs) when i disconnect the switch to isolate the main battery from the battery that runs the amp, my subs and alpine's turn off, but the kicker's stay on.
wtf /\/\? |

if everything is hooked up to one amp, i would start with checking the batteries and make sure they are both good. then check the amp, then rca's, then the head unit. _________________ trying to find a $5-7K usable saltare if anyone knows of one. |

yes everything is hooked to the single amp. I will check the voltage on the batteries!
both should be good, i have run the boat plenty with them both hooked to the charging system. and i had the second battery tested not long ago. it is a smaller car battery that i pulled from my car when i replaced it thinking it was bad, but the battery was not the problem with my car. |
