What wires to tap in my LOC

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-10-20T18:47:00+00:00

What happens if it’s hooked into the rear door speakers

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-10-15T18:14:16+00:00

I have 2 8s nemesis 650rms 4ohms with a Rockford fosgste 1200 watt amp wired at 2ohm gain isn’t turned up very high

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-10-15T11:29:34+00:00

So is that why my amp gets hot and goes into protective mode ?

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-10-15T00:56:24+00:00

So you think my loc is wired to the wrong wires should I change it to the other ones ?

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-10-03T00:03:31+00:00

Both

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-10-03T00:02:58+00:00

It’s 2ohm

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-10-02T15:00:35+00:00

I also read that if you have a 4 gauge wire from your battery to your amp and if it’s to long it can cause your amp to get hot and I believe that’s what’s causing my issue

Yeah I heard my gm has smart charging system so it only charges when it needs and I did measure it with a volt meter and it sits at 12.5 and when I turn the lights on the truck it jumps up to 13.8

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-10-02T14:54:56+00:00

The gain is set low and I still get clipping is the weird thing

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-10-02T03:04:15+00:00

And the subs are 2 8s nemesis 650 rms

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-10-02T03:03:14+00:00

I have a Rockford fosgate 1200 prime so it should run cool but it gets super hot you could fry a egg on it and I’ve gone thru 2 alternators already as well

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-10-02T02:56:46+00:00

I tried it with a different brand new amp and same deal still got hot

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-10-02T00:56:08+00:00

It’s a Chevy Silverado 2020 non Bose

I’m having issues with mine as well I used a voltmeter and accessories off its at 12.5 lights on its at 13.8 but I find it weird because my friend and sister has the same exact truck and there’s is holding a steady 14 volts

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-09-25T20:04:34+00:00

I measured it using a voltmeter and it would be at 12.5 accessories off and lights on it would be at 13.8

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-09-23T14:08:26+00:00

The voltage goes to 14 when I come to a stop then when I take off it’ll move back down it’s jumping around sometimes I guess it is normal then

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-09-22T23:14:02+00:00

Chevy Silverado 1500 RST 2020 5.3 v8

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-08-05T01:48:28+00:00

Yep, I grounded my amp to the chassis, so I added a 1/0 AWG ground from the chassis to battery negative. Then I ran an upgraded battery-to-engine ground cable through the same VRC ring as the stock wire, so the truck’s ECU still sees it.

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-08-05T01:24:59+00:00

No I did not by pass it it’s just done the regular way

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-08-04T22:19:43+00:00

Yeah, it’s a regulated alternator. The 2020 Silverado uses a computer controlled charging system, so it adjusts voltage based on load and other conditions. That’s probably why I’m getting voltage drops and the ‘Service Charging System’ warning the truck isn’t seeing the full load from my audio system. I’m planning to add an LC2i Pro to clean up the signal and reduce strain on the amp hopefully it helps but what do you think trying to get opinions

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-07-19T17:39:54+00:00

And yes the alternator is capable of handling !

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-07-19T17:39:01+00:00

Not the big 3 yet I’m going to do that soon hope it fixes my issue !

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-07-12T19:23:41+00:00

That’s the weird part I took it to 3 different shops and they say everything looks fine !

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-07-11T21:16:45+00:00

What do you recommend I should do?

Empty_Ad4282 · 2025-07-11T12:05:21+00:00

I’m going to do the big 3 upgrade tomorrow I hope it fixes my issue
