I have two Kicker 12'' subs, I have a Install bay Capacitor, I have a Kenwood eXcelon X501-1 - Class D Mono Power Amplifier. There is a red light indicator when the AMP is on and working fine. The AMP comes on when the car is started, the Install bay Capacitor reads on the digital monitor 1.21 when I usually see a 1.30-1.40 area. I have recently installed Inside LED lights and Underglow lights to my car. They are hard wired to the car, and the sub and amps run off the battery. I have the factory alternator in my car and it had been supplying power fine with the LED lights until about two days ago when i noticed it started to cut out. My capacitor by install bay Only has 1 FARARD which I've had the capacitor for several years.
Any advise would be appreciated?
My first thoughts would be to replace the capacitor all together with a higher FARARD for the power of my AMP, I'm not sure what the wyatts are for my AMP and which capacitor I would need but I'm thinking my capacitor could be the cause although I understand it doesn't store power.
My second thoughts would be to have the speaker wiring reinstalled on the vehicle to check for possible shorts.
I am unable to put the volume past 25, whereas last week I was cruising to 40 volume level.
I thought with all the car accessories that I may need to purchase a aftermarket alternator to power all the accessories but I'm not sure that this is the issue.
Which troubleshooting should I try first?
- Buy a replacement capcitor due to the years passed and the fact that it keeps wiggling loose connections from driving on the road constantly, every couple of months due to bumps it has been loosed.
- Wire check / Replace with thicker wires?
- Replace alternator in my car, which is currently the Standard Hyundai Sonta alternator.
PLEASE ALL technicians, provide your honest opinion?
