Probably not a good enough ground. If its not bridged, prolly a weak ground. ZX750 = needs a good ground!

alright thanks ill have to try a better ground

Agreed, if not check the voltage at the amp and make sure all of your battery connections are tight.Originally Posted by JoelW98GTP

alright ill check all of this tomorrow
12-19-2009
Or the amps toast GOOD LUCK BUDDDDDDDDDDDDDYYYYYY

If all checks out ok, and the amp is still clipping try beefing up the body ground at the battery by putting a 4 gauge cable between the negative post on the battery and the body of the car. this is very commonly overlooked

Factory grounds such the big one.
That doesnt mean make your own... Use factory positions but make sure they're sanded down to bare metal etc.

ok well i got a better ground but it still blinks on low notes and it doesn't seem as loud as it should be. any ideas as y?
12-19-2009
Check and see what kind of voltage you are getting at the amp.

With that kind of power you need to upgrade the ground under the hood and the alternator power wire. Or commonly known as "the big 3".
12-19-2009
what do i need to do to upgrade it?
12-19-2009
I did the actual "big 3" so an alternator to fuse relay, battery ground and a motor to chassis ground. Sorry for the dirty mess, and no i didn't have a ring terminal on the motor to ground wire.
12-19-2009
even if you used a section of the existing wire but routed it the shorter route it'd be much better than stock. Also free
12-19-2009
and that helps alot?
12-19-2009
Oh yes, big time! The stock wiring is 8 gauge if im not wrong. 8 gauge is good for about 60 amps so and your alternator puts out over 100. I had some serious dimming issues before and now i have little if none.
12-19-2009
Its the fact that the 8 gauge cable is 10 feet long.
If the 8 gauge cable was say a foot and a half, this wouldn't be an issue with our cars.
12-19-2009
alright ill have to do that then
12-19-2009
ahh, the big 3. way to go
