I have a Poweracoustik 4 channel amp - approximately eight years old in it's 3rd vehicle. I have a weird issue with the 1 & 2 (front) channels, it sounds like they aren't receiving full power (intermittently) all of the time and when I notice the problem, L to right balance doesn't isolate to the single speaker. I get sound out of both.

I know the vehicle is wired right, so I think it's two channels of the amp on the way out.

I ordered an Alpine MRV-F340 last night, hopefully I'll have it by the weekend.

or you have the amp set to mono... that would give you no control of balance

it's definitely stereo - when the channels are working right I have full control of balance.

Ludlam - I haven't gone as far as replacing them. I'm using a set of Monsters. What makes you think RCA's?

LudlamTheory

i had an old *** set of rca's back in the day in my first car, and if you bent them in one direction, it would kinda cut out...

probably need to clarify - the channels don't cut out, I simply lose the ability to pan left/right (for channels 1 and 2 only) and the sound isn't right..it's intermittent, and when it's working right everything works normally.

***UPDATE****

Got the Alpine MRV-F340 on Monday, but had to wait until I had time to disconnect cabling to get my sub box out (all my amps are mounted on it).

Got it in and fired finally around 3p and so far it works GREAT - the other really good thing is that I no longer need the ground loop isolator I was using to defeat the alternator noise !!

It looks and sounds SWEEEEET !
