Question:
i decided to switcharound my amp to another part of the car. when i was ready to plug it in i noticed the fuse right next to my battery blew. i changed it and turned the volume up and then my speakers started to rumble even when i turned it back down. i had to turn the gain down on both of my amps to stop the noise but then the bass of the woofers were to low. so i plugged out one side of the RCA cable from the amps and i got a little better response. but after a few minutes the rumbling came back. i only changed the length of one ground wire and that is the only thing i really did..i have 8 gauge cable running to a power cap and from the cap to distributor block and from there to the amps. this setup had worked for a number of months. what could be the problem?

Hmmmm? Alot people complain of the noise you have. The number one reason for this type of noise that I have delt with is your rca cables are too close to your power cable. You can pick up noise this way.Speakers cut off when bass goes up?
It sounds to me like you simply loosened up one of your grounds or speaker connections (like it crackles when it moves?). Actually this seems like the only reasonable answer. Also, ditch the cap. They're only good for power fluctuations of -up to- .01 volt. Doesn't do much of, well, anything but waste your money - and the readings usually are .5 to .9 more than what your charging system really is at- another way to scam you.Ditch the cap and do the Big3 upgrade (power wire from alt. to batt., ground wire from batt. to frame, then ground from frame to engine block) in 4g or bigger wire. This WILL give you more of an audible difference than adding any cap!
Remember, your vehicles' charging system is only as good as the alt. and the ability to utilize the power from the alt.
