Im running a momo 4 channel higher end one and a monoblock d class momo at 2 ohms it is said to run 500 watts which i had the sub wired for. I have a charged power acoustik 5 farad cap on it. when idling it would dip between 12 volts and 13 and sometime in the high 11 i did notice when driving the lights dimed i run my remote wire from the deck to the amps and spliced my eq into the line could that create a problem thanks. |
