I have a 300 watt powered 12" sub and a 4 channel jbl marine amp 60 rms x 4. Running off the stock OEM battery on my rzr 1000. Runs and plays just fine while idling. But when I start riding it cuts in and out and won't even let me engage 4 wheel drive. But when I turn off the system it goes to running fine again. What could be the problem? Don't think the battery is not enough power since it plays and runs just fine at idle.

My amp cuts out at higher volume recently. Either the amp is shot or the speakers are. I used cheap marine/boat grade eBay stuff. Pressure washing, mud, submersed etc I'm surprised it's lasted this long. Well worth the $250. It still works but it won't play at max anymore.

Has your stuff seen lots of water?

Replace your power and ground wires. that should fix your problem. Had it happen to me time and time again. 6-8" fosgates with a IX Kicker 500.4 amp. when the wires got a little corroded it wouldnt play over 3/4 volume.

Your ground wire and power wire may be to small. Had it happen when I RAN 4 6 1/2" SPEAKERS AND 2 12" SUBS on my ole Rhino got bigger copper wires problem solved. Yes your regulator is bad if it reads 17 volts. Amazon has one for $100.
