Okay, I'm working on upgrading my stereo and am running into issues.
I will start by describing the system and wiring.
Marine Receiver - Kenwood KMR-330
Marine Amp - Clarion APX490M
Marine Speakers - Polk Audio BB651 (2 in front) / Infinity 6912M (2 in rear)
Everstart Cranking battery (2 years old)
Everstart Marine Deep Cycle (brand new)
Amp pos and neg is wired directly to battery via 12' 4gauge wires, 1 for positive with a 60amp in-line fuse and 1 for negative. The remote turn-on is wired to the reciever's remote turn on wire.
The receiver Ignition Wire (red wire) is wired by itself directly to my ACC switch, my battery wire (yellow wire) is wired to the fuse panel on the same 30amp fuse my depth finder is wired to and the receiver is grounded to the same bolt my horn is grounded to.
When the engine is running the receiver will cut out roughly 2 to 3x a song(along with the amp since it's connected to the receiver via the remote turn-on).
Now to make things more confusing if I connect the boats original positive and negative wiring to the everstart cranking battery, and only the amp to the deepcycle the amp will not power on.
My hopes are to use a VSR to isolate the starting battery and the deep cycle so I won't get caught with a dead starting battery.
Any suggestions as to why this everything works as expected without the engine running but cuts out when the engine is running and why can't I hook the amp up by itself to the deep cycle?
