| Oct 12, 2017 at 12:45 | comment | added | Ben | what gauge is the subwoofer cable? generally oems use a 4 gauge or braided cable for the engine ground. you should post your fix as an answer as well | |
| Oct 12, 2017 at 12:41 | comment | added | that-ben | Thanks Ben. Well guess what, I ended up paying 200$ for an auto place to ridicule me. As I stated in the OP, I had changed the huge ground on the passenger side motor mounting bracket, but I put a subwoofer ground cable. The new cable gauge was at least 2x too thin, therefore not enough amperage was passing through. I feel like an idiot now. Never replace OEM grounds with thinner cables, NEVER. Now I understand why people use seemingly overkill huge ground cables! :) | |
