System bumpin hard and clean; all the power shut off & on real fast

Other night just out for a drive and jammin away; all of a sudden all the power goes off and on real fast, twice. Like someone shut the key off and on real fast. engine died for a sec n everything.

seamed fine after I turned the radio down. but today it did not want to start, when I hit the start position on the key it would goto turn over but then like the whole system lost power, did that a few dozen times and then finally started and i went home.



edited, was wrgon about which battery was where, 1000cca in my bird.

 

i had the same problem...check your battery guage while in the car and running playing your stereo(u may need a new battery)....or your amp connection is keeping your car power wires from getting a good connection to the actual battery itself...see if u can attach your amp wires better to your car battery

 

I agree, either your battery is shot and it can't handle a load or you got a bad connection. If the battery is shot, it may read 12V when you put a meter on it but as soon as you put a load on it by starting the car it will collapse. Check both connections on the battery. A lot of times people will just check the ground but it sounds like you positive cable is loose. You are probably jumping across the unitl the car starts to draw a load and it can't handle it.
