you will have to change your power lead to a Zero gauge first of all or risk catching u car on fire......... does your altenator even put out enough amps to power that thing STABLY without any caps in line? Doubtful.

and honestly, repost or clean it up b/c your english I just cant grasp to give you the best answer (cable what?)

The power cable. sorry

Anything over 1000W you should be running AT LEAST 4 gauge. Even 4G will get warm and choke some power b/c of the tremendous amount of power going through there.

So basically upgrade to AT LEAST 4G power lead AND ground. Buy a 1Farad capacitor. before that though I would FOR SURE put some kind of voltmeter on it to be sure the amp is getting the proper amperage under load (loud music, bass hits, etc).

also, be sure the GAIN is turned up........... lol

what kind of 1100 watt amp is it?

 

[juju]

there kenwood

 

[mercuryrising]

If its 1100 watts RMS (which Im assuming it is) 0 guage is overkill... If its the $300 kenwood amp thats around that, you should change your power AND ground...4 guage should be fine. then check all the settings on the amp, you just might have filters and bass boost set differently than the other amp.

Pushing that much power through 4G will make the power lead warm... You dont want that. trust me.

well split the difference and use 2G...
