Does my xia2460 have enough watts to power my XNBP12D sub set?

Question

i just purchased a used car and it came with a system already installed. When i first took a test drive i noticed when the bass was kicking moderately hard the light of my deck would start to dim every time it kicked. When i increased the volume slightly the whole thing would cut out and reset it self when i turned the volume lower.

Answer 1

in your case the voltage is droppng below 11volts

upgrade the wiring of the amplifier to adequate (if any)

check the grounds of head unit and amplifier(if any)

if both if thing above are adequate - change the battery to a high ampere

if still the problem persists - get the alternator changed to high ampere and upgrade to big-3

big3

- upgrade ground wire 10 0-guage

-upgrade alternator to battery wire to 0-guage

-upgrade alternator
