Radio Problem
PLEASE HELP, this new radio install is about to drive me to being drunk. I have a 48 volt, I installed a noise filter and radio is still cutting out when i press the pedal down to go. Does not do it as much when a CD is in, when i left off the pedal the volume goes back up? Hopefully there is something that can fix this?

Re: Radio Problem
Brand X Radio, came off of Ebay. Power wire runs to noise reducer then to hot on battery and Negative runs to - on other battery making 16 volts. Radio would not turn on with 8 volts. I know that i do not need a reducer bc everything else on my cart, winch, lights, etc are running on 16 volts

Re: Radio Problem
Sounds like a power draw problem, over drawing batteries

Re: Radio Problem
PS noise reducer will not do anything to keep the power from going out. It is a frequency choke designed to cut out NOISE.
Also have you checked all your batteries voltage? |

Re: Radio Problem
Most Radios are designed to work off of 12v. I have one hooked to my 12v reducer and works fine. If there is a weak fm signal it will cut out while throttle is used. Strong fm signals I have no problem with along with use of CDs.

Re: Radio Problem
Several years back we had a lot of radio questions and many of the people added a extra 12 volt battery to run the radio.
