I have a 1000 watt sony amp running a 15" kick comp VR, and a 500 watt sony amp running my full ranger speakers in my car, it sounds awesome, cept when i have it cranked up, my full range speakers cut out for just a second, the amp stays on and everything, but the speakers cut out, sometimes they dont do it though...i have no idea what the problem is, any help would be greatly appreciated!

set your gain lower on the 500 amp, your putting way to much poer to the component speakers

I have a brand new alternator, it is not any higher amperage or anything, but i also have a 1.0 farad power cap. and it was not doing it earlier....could it be something with my RCAs or Remote? because i noticed that i can hear a high pitched noise out of my speakers now when i accelerate if the volume is turned down.

Check your grounds. Make sure your amps are grounded as close as possible to your cap(w/o makin huge runs of course). Also check your RCA connections. I installed an electronic crossover in the compartment under my armrest in my Explorer(so I could tweak while in motion :-)). It was a tight fit and one set of RCA's was pressed against my center pillar and forced up a lil bit. This caused some engine noise. Once I gave them some room and relieved the pressure on my Xover outs I lost my engine noise.

also make sure your rca wires run down the oppisite side as the power wires.
