I have a jl audio 1000/1v2 my probem is the low volt ligth blinking and dosen t work wath shut I do
The low voltage light would indicate that there is not enough power reaching the amplifier through the power wire. Are you using 4awg or bigger wire? Is the amp grounded well? Does this happen all the time or just at high volume?

Try checking your power and ground connections and ensure that you are using the correct size of wire.

I hooked up the 500/1 amp and when the bass hits it turns off where can i get it fixed or how do i get it to stop doing that i live in fontana ca maybe you have a shop near by
Check your ground connections. Alot of times when the amplifier is pushed to its higher levels of power if it doesnt have a solid ground connection it will kind of choke itself. Also with the amplifier you should make sure there are no knicks or anything in the power cable. Make sure you are running a 4awg power and ground cable with solid and clean connectors on the ends. Also that amplifier needs a good anl fuse holder with at least 100 amp fuse.

I have a jl 10001, when i turn it up its cutting off saying low voltage. I'm running 4 guage wire do i need to go bigger?
Try using a capacitor and make sure you have a fused (+) directly to the battery post that is routed as short as possible. Ground wire should be short enough from a clear and clean body part. Try lowering down your output gain so it won't clip the system.

I enhance volume car light shimmer and amp off.
Need more info. Are you sying that your lights pulse to the bass? Capacitors help. I would recomend at LEAST a 2 farad. Make sure you are using GOOD QUALITY 4 gauge power wire. So many "kits" say 4 gauge, but strip it back and you have a glorified 8 guage wire. I've seenit. Also, MAKE SURE that it is ran to the bayttery and use the SAME gauge for the ground (no more that 4 feet if possible).

In case your next question is "how do I hook up a Cap?", here it goes:

Power AND ground to the cap, then power AND ground from cap to the amp input. So very easy!!

Take care,

Jl 1000/1 amp not working
If I'm not mistaken, the blue light is the low voltage indicator. You need to confirm that the voltage ON THE POWER SUPPLY TERMINALS of the amp never drops below 11 volts. If it does, the amp will shut off. It's possible that you have a bad connection or even a defective fuse that's causing the problem.

JL recommends a 100 amp fuse for the amp. If you use a fuse that's too large and something goes wrong, the amp may be very severely damaged (possibly beyond repair).

Amp problem
you either have a bad ground or your power line is too small, the farther you go from the battery the larger wire you need.

Wrong connection
You should have blown a fuse. Check the main power fuse feeding the system (usually at the battery). If it appears to be good, you'll need a multimeter to check the voltage at the B+ and remote terminals of the amplifiers. Place the black meter lead on the ground terminal of the amp when testing. .

Fuse keeps blowing when sub volume is turned up
the amp draw rating on the amp is 100 you need to put a larger fuse in, such as a 150 amp, it would be a good idea to go to 0 ga but not needed. you might also want to upgrade your altenator.
