[QUOTE="dags_07, post: 7325381, member: 633171"] Ok, I have 2 Alpine Type-E 12" connected to a Boss PH2.800 1600w amp (2 x 260rms at 4ohms) and a 3.5 farad capacitor. Now, I have a little issue with the capacitor, when I turn up the volume for more than 20 the voltmeter goes off and the capacitor start making a beep sound. I have a 4 gauge ground cable for the capacitor, but I am still waiting the one for my amp (I am currently using a regular speaker wire as ground for the amp, I know I shouldn't be doing that at all, but I wanted to test the bass a little.) Another thing, both ground cables are connected to the same place, is it the problem?. What do you think why the capacitor goes off and starts the continuous beep? I leave you guys some pictures and a video to better describe what is happening [ATTACH=CONFIG]26524591[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]26524590[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]26524593[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]26524589[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]26524592[/ATTACH] Video: the video is on youtube, just look for Problem with my Capacitor. Any help?. I couldn't put the link. Thank you [/QUOTE]
