hey guys,
Last night i was on a cruise and had the system cranking for about 3 songs while the car was idling in traffic....the head unit shut off randomly while playing it and the interior and exterior lights became very very dim even when nothing was playing...i shut it off straight away when it came back on to see if my lights would brighten up more, and they didnt. so in an attempt to make my voltage rise, i revved the engine, nothing past 2500rpm because my water temp was already rising really really quickly until the thermostat kicked in and brought it back down.
my system is:
4 x rockford fosgate punch splits
1 x alpine mrp-f450 amp (8 gauge wire)
2 x alpine type s subs making 600RMS
1 x alpine mrp-m850 amp (4 gauge wire)
head unit - alpine 9881
the car (vt commodore) has never done anything like this before and i have played songs for a longer period of time and nothing would happen....im just worried that the next song i will turn up will do some more damage....
do any of you know what might have caused the lights to stay dimmed AND make the water temp rise?? what i could do to fix this problem???
thanks in advance
