Sorry havent posted anything been real busy. My H.U. has been doing good till today going to class it shut off when the volume was at like 5 and that pissed me off and it kept shutting off. After class it shut off once and then that was it was fine the rest of the drive and to work. I did notice when my H.U. shuts off my dash shows a red battery symbol shows for a split second and then goes off. The weather has been crappy so i havent been able to do the big three still.

Ok so I turned my sub off and then turned the stereo up and it shut off so then I pulled the H.U. and replaced the connections on the harness with different ones and it still shut off. It seems that it only happens when I first start the car if I've been driving for a while it seems to stay on. I still have yet to do the big three I'll try to get it done this weekend (weather permitting)

Yea I'll post tomorrow what I find out...new head unit time maybe haha

I would agree shops are gay. Sound works our "main" shop here is sad at best but I went to Mid City I know the guy there he set it up for free. I made sure he was working when I went in but I do want to learn how to do this my self.

Yea I set the gain that way with a 50 hz tone. Then i event took it to a shop and had them set everything to make sure it was all good.

I have a DMM so I put it to DC and touch the speaker inputs on the amp? How loud should I have it?

Sounds cheap lol. So im gonna pull the H.U. tomorrow and check the harness. If that goes no where then I'm gonna get some 0ga and do the big 3 and then work on getting a new battery up front. Any suggestion on a decent one. I'm only running 1000wrms.

Haha I'm already trying to justify in my head why I need to get more stuff back there. But you think the voltage thing is what is causing my head unit to shut off now?

Its a 1997 chevy Blazer stock alt and whatever the battery it came with when I bought it about 3 years ago.

I have not pulled the H.U. yet tomorrow I will since its the only time I have free to. Yes this happens with bass I havent tried to get it to shut off with the sub off tho. As for the voltage my car has a voltage guage in the dash and it only goes low at idle so I turn it down.

Yea the H.U. shuts off sound goes off then after a few seconds the H.U. turns back on and sound comes back if I keep it low once I get around 19-20(volume) it shuts off again.

So last night on my way home from work I was listening to my stereo and all of a sudden the H.U. shuts off and then restarts(Alpine 9884). I installed the H.U. last year in November and never had a problem with it then about a month ago I put in a Sundown SAZ-1000D and a Fi 12" Q. Never had a problem with my H.U. turning off before last night. I dont know if the cold had anything to do with it. It was around 30 out and snowing. Today comming home from school it was listening to it seeing if it would shut off and it never did then comming to work a few hours later it started doing it again. I have yet to do the big 3 and my voltage drops pretty good. Im driving a 97 blazer 4 dr. I'm just looking for were to start troubleshooting.

Alpine CDA-9884 HU 18wrms, 2 volt preouts, Polk DB series componets 4ohm up front and infinity reference coax in the back 4 ohm both being run off the HU for now. 1 12" Fi Q D2 and a SAZ-1000D at 1 ohm. 2.5cuft box at 32hz sub up port back in a 97 blazer. I think im gonna try sub back port back but I thought i saw some place that something like a epicenter made a song with little bass have a lot more bass, thats what im going for here. Like I said rap songs are loud but I dont listen to rap.

I found this on JL's website says for JL amp except HD series so I would think it will work for yours heres the link My link

Dont mean to thread jack here but im kinda in the same position. I have a 12" Fi Q on a Sundown SAZ-1000D at 1 ohm. Anyways its loud when rap is playing the probem is I dont listen to rap I listen to stuff like A Day to Remember, All that remains, The Devil Wears Prada, Alexisonfire things like that and some of its not very bass oriented. So I was wondering what a good processor would be to make up for the lack of bass I heard good things about Phoenix gold bass cube but I dont think they make those anymore. Any input is welcomed.
