Hello All! First time here and having some trouble with a Amp/Sub Hookup.
I just recently purchase a Pioneer TS-WX1210A and install this weekend. Sub has a built in amp and runs on 20 amps.
I have run 8 guage directly from battery in the boot for both the positive and the ground (figured this was the best ground point) and have used a fuse splitter for the ACC fuse in the boot for thr trigger.
I have joint the speaker input to the rear door speakers as I have no parcel tray speakers (non-Bose system). There is a switch on the sub for SP Line which I have selected (as opposed to RCA). I have set the gains, added 6db bass boost and frequency x-over at 80.
Went for a drive last night and everything went perfect. However I have got in the car today and the sub is cutting in and out. The power light on the sub was flickering.
It only seems to be when the car is running. If I turn the car off it starts working perfect again.
I have rechecked and re-done all the wiring checking it all 3 times over and everything is joined nicely and I even tried wriggling cables to try troubleshoot. Nothing changed.
I have been told that I may need a capacitor to run for the current draw might be too much. Am just finding it odd that it works fine last night but they is playing up today.
Just curious if anyone else has had similar issues and what they did to fix it. Any help appreciated
