After installing them my battery would no longer start my car even after I would jump the battery and run the car for awhile. So I bought a new battery and car starts fine. But now I noticed my front speakers will just cut out while the rear factory subs stay on. Than I shut the head unit off than back on and I have sound back for maybe 5 minutes depending on how it feels. Do I need a bigger amp or what is wrong? I love the new kappas sound great when they work ty.
Man I am glad to see I am not the only one who is having problems with these Kappas. I unhooked the kicker tweeters and now all I have is the Kappa door speakers hooked up to the factory amp, with the stock subs in the back. I no longer get a shut off of the sound and so that is fixed, but now everytime I turn the volume up past half way I get a clipping and staticky sound. When Iturn the volume down it is not there.
I called Crutchfield and they said the factory amp is underpowering the Kappas, or the Kappas are too powerful for the amp, and when the amp is overloaded it sends out the clipping. they recomended I buy a more powerful amp, of course.
Can any one else chime in on this and let me know if I really need to get a more powerful amp or am I experiencing some other problem Thanks
