get a volt meter and cheak the voltage sounds like it aint getting decent voltage
not 100% sure but aint the fuse in the saxo for the headunit normally 20a? cheak your manual tho as im not 100% onthat

pretty sure its a 10amp fuse, if its red then its 10. Run a thicker gauge power cable for the constant supply and run a new earth using thicker cable and make a new earthing point under the lower centre console, sand back well before fixing earth cable too. if that doesnt solve the problem then it will be a good idea in the long run anyway.

which comps do you have that are £800? bit ott if you ask me tbh...
If your running 8 gauge power direct to the headunit from the battery then that is ott also, no need for anything more than 15 amp cable and even then thats too thick tbh.
poss remove all the cables, check them all and start again with sensible sized cables!?
your not running a headunit using 8 gauge cable from the fuse box are you?

MTX Thunder Axe High End Components and DB Audio T-Rex 5.1c no im running 4 gauge to amp and 15gauge remote wire to head unit with 4 gauge ground coming off amp and grounded under the seat , yeah looks like what i will have to do rip out and start again because at the moment it is sounding like a 100 pound set up not like i go around with music full blast i just like the pure music with amazing sound quality they ive out just brought a new ida x305 alpine head unit as well see if this solves the problem fingers crossed :y:
