Subs cutting out

[bigarsenal 0]

well it went from never doing to doing it alot i will turn it up so everything is shaking then the subs cut of even when my voltage is still around the 13.6v's its pissing me off i have a 160alt two red tops two AA arsenal 15's and a orion 2500d pushing them could my amp be going bad. I was thinking I need to get bigger gauge wire i have 4 cause thats what the amp can fit. PLEASE PLEASE HELP MAN

This sounds like more of a wiring and amp problem than an Ascendant issue.

Find out if the amp is cutting out, it sounds like it might be. Are the subs wired to to low of an ohm load?

Run 1/0awg to the amp area. Then either get a gauge reducer, or a distro block that can slim the wire down to 4awg size.

oh i know its not a Ascendant problem im lost tho i think its a remote wire cause sometimes my deck shuts off then cutsback on

is the orion the only thing wired to the remote lead? Also, is the orion the only thing that has ever been wired to the remote lead?

If the deck shuts off, its not the remote problem. The remote turning off is in response to the HU turning off.

I'd run a new constant line from the battery to the head unit. You're probably getting some sort of drop at the head unit as far as power goes, causing it to shut off. You might also try regrounding the unit.
