Braking = power loss?

Post by WaaX »

I have a 2000 watt volfenhag amp powering 2 10" mtx subs, which really isn't that powerfull. Whenever I start braking, my bass becomes extremely weak. I installed a volt gauge and watched it while braking, but it doesn't drop, stays around 12v. It's only when I'm braking, if I'm sitting idle then the bass is still kicking. If I'm sitting idle with my foot on the brake it's still kicking. Only when im slowing the car down with the brakes is when this happens. Thanks for your help.

It's most likely something to do with the alternator/ idle speed, lower idle lower amount of power the alternator generates. Your battery may be tired if this is the case.
