Wanted to see if anyone could help me with a problem. I recently installed a new Sony radio in my 97 Crownline. The unit played fine over the two factory(6 inch) speakers. I then installed a 400 watt Sony amp and two 10 ' woofers. I also installed a new battery(650CCA) that the amp is run off of. Now, as I start to turn up the volume on the radio the display on the radio starts to pulse as the bass hits. Then the radio shuts off, then comes back on. I can't turn it up very far before the radio shuts off.
The radio is run to the original battery, which has a good charge and will start the boat. The amp is the only thing running to Bat. #2. This is all occuring while the engine is OFF. I've been told the system is pulling too much power, causing the radio to turn off. But if the amp is on a seperate bat. shouldnt the radio be able to have enough power?
Originally I had all this running off one bat.The radio was cutting off when I started to turn up the volume. I then installed a second bat., only put the amp on it. The radio still cuts off when I turn up the volume though.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any advice.
