Random music cut-off HELP
 
So i just got my car and i recently installed a whole new audio system to my car. I got an aftermarket head unit installed,I got 2 amplifiers for my car, one for my subs and one for my front speakers of course. I believe it is an 2 gauge amp wire i used for the positive wire to run from the battery to the amps, and then i have a box splitter, to split the positive wires into the two separate amps. So at first when it was installed it was working perfectly fine but now the high/mid so i clearly assume it is my amp for my front speakers that are either cutting out or not receiving enough power. The car is on of course and it happens when i'm driving. I noticed the battery gauge is jumping sometimes when the bass is hitting. The front speakers do not turn off completely but it is just really low and sounds kind of muffled. I have read about upgrading the alternator but i don't know how much amperage is running from my amps. I'd appreciate the help if someone doesn't mind helping me out on it.
Here are the amplifiers i got: Kicker CX300.4 ; Kicker KX800.1

and my head unit i got it from my old vehicle: JVC KW-NT30HD


Couple of questions: Should i upgrade my positive and negative wires running for my battery?

Do i need to upgrade my alternator?

Let me know if i missed out on any information or anything i may need to do that i can't think of on top of my head right now.

Most likely it's a poor connection somewhere, I don't think you have that much wattage connected to overload the alternator. Cap's don't work well for voltage drops, they are more for power quality issues.

Definitely go through your wiring. There is an issue in there somewhere. Your alternator should have no issues handling that load whatsoever. Check your ground connections first, as well as your positives. Wire size is not an issue here, either.
whatever you do, don't waste your money on a capacitor.

Where is your amp (for speakers) installed? What front speakers do you have? I wonder if the amp is overloaded or overheating and going into protection mode

i was thinking the same. back when i had a system i could max out my amp and it would stop for a few seconds at a time. Try running the system at a much lower volume and see if it still does it.

if its wiring, it should not matter what volume level it is at to short ( unless your bass is shaking apart your install :eekdance: )
