ok so i bought an alpine mrp m500 mono block amp to power my type e 10, it worked great for a day and then it stopped. it still lights up but whenever the bass hits the blue light dims. i thought it was my battery turns out my battery was only at 58% so i hooked the charger up and got it to 100 so i tried my amp again and same thing happend, i cant find anything online on what is causing it nor does it say in the manual. i really need to get this working cause im gonna compete in an ameture sub contest in a few days, i know i wont win it is so i can test the decibles for free haha

Just out of curiosity what did you get it for? I got out bid on one.

To be honest without a diagram of the amp I couldn't tell you where the best place to check for a fault would be. I would call alpine tech and see what they say. They. Bent over backwards to help me with some head unit problems I had and walked me through a year down on an old unit

WHY DO I KEEP BUYING DODGES?!?!?
Sounds like a low voltage issue. Check your ground before you panic. Amp in my Cherokee did the same thing and relocating and sanding where I had the ground wire screwed into the body solved it. Luckily, the amp I had at the time had multiple LED's for power, fault, and low voltage.

wr i got it for 123.47 shipped, it was a buy it now not one u bid on. could my problem be that i dont have connectors on my wires. the terminals are to small so i split the wire in half and only put half of the wire in and the rest is just hanging out, maybe that would cause low voltage?

Do you have a REALLY good ground wire? Mine is made from a battery cable.
