It would cut off then come back on then a couple seconds later it would cut back off and do the same thing. it will not do it when the car is running but it does it when the truck is off and switch on the battery

  1. your battery is a p.o.s. basically your cd player is draining it, take it and get it checked autozone checks it for free, it doesnt do it when the car is on because  your battery is being recharged by the alternator


  2. first dont hook it up on 12v (batt)... you can damage the amp if left on for a long time. now whats happening is that you are drawing to much current from the accesory (amp turn on) ok to fix this you can install a toggle switch ( like 2 or 3 dollars at your local car store ((auto zone, oreillys, etc) hook one side to 12 volts that reads 13.5 or 14. on a multimeter and then hook the other side to the amp turn on side. dont forget to turn off the amp when you arent using it the switch will control the on and off of the amp from then on...

  3. that is happening due to the protection feature on the amplifier you have.

    what basically happens is, when you turn the volume high, the amp gives more watts to the subs so they can be louder. and this requires more power from the battery.

    so since your alternator is not charging the battery (because its on acc) then the voltage on the battery drops.

    the amp detects the huge voltage drop in the electrical system and shuts off until the voltage goes up a big higher.

    by the way, ur battery is fine... this is happening only because the vehicle is not on and the alternator is not running which is what recharges the battery.

  4. your battery is not holding enough juice to run it when its turned off  and when your amp doesnt get enough power it will cut on and off.

    or you can jump your power wire to the remote and if it works that way then you need to take off the remote to the radio and run it to the battery or fuse box

    and maybe check your ground

  5. YOUR BATTERY IS DEAD NEEDS TO BE RECHARGE
