So I have a Blaupunkt Amplifier bridged to power a single 10" Polk MOMO subwoofer, and I've noticed that for a bridged-power RMS rating of around 380 watts, it just doesnt seem all that loud.
I'm pretty sure that its a power problem of some kind, because I'm supplying the amp with my headunits full 6 volt output power, and everything is EQ'd perfectly and installed poperly....Its just that the amp output tends to vary quite a bit from time to time, so it will be nice and powerful one minute, then not nearly as powerful as it should be the next.  Could it be a low battery voltage, bad RCA signal...?? Just tell me if any of you have had the same problem before ,because its been like this on and off for a while now.

My ground is excellent...I shortened the ground wire by some 2 feet last year and its bolted down to bare chassis that I wire brushed clean. I'm running 8 gauge wiring too with an upgraded fuse setup, so that shouldnt be and issue.
Thats a good idea checking the voltage....My car doesnt start up as quick as it used to either, so Im suspecting its the battery. I'll test mine and try using the battery from my dads truck and see if its any better with a fresh battery. Thanks. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |
