Ordered a new sfb 8000D got everything hooked up and it's pumping...sort of. Pretty sure I'm having problems with the rca voltage, ordered a matrix plus to level that out as I've needed one for awhile. But as I'm trying to measure the output of the amp and tune with an AMM-1 and dd-1 I disconnected the speaker wire to run through the AMM-1 and electrocuted the ever living shit out of myself. From touching the speaker terminal ( with metal allen key) and nothing by my other hand touching the amp. Is this Normal? I've gotten little bits of tingle before but never enough for me to jump from the surge.

Yeah, that's how mine was acting. It would cut my steering off and flash my entire gauge cluster as if the car had just started again so I just bypassed any concerns and did it that way because...steering important xD haha ( Mind you after trying a few different pigtail configurations first to try and keep factory as possible)

Sounds like it's overvolting and shutting down the car for a moment. My Mazda speed had the same issue, Try running just a tickle wire from the battery to the alt pigtail to have it excite and stay charging. Not 100% if that's what I was suppose to do but it's pushed my Singer alt for about 2 years now no more problems. If you have a power probe use that before wiring anything in

2017 Nissan pathfinder 3.5l D7500 and d1200 powering sfb 8k and nvx 800.4 The highest I can find anywhere if at all is 270 amp alts but this 3.5l vq35 is in a dozen other vehicles

Has anybody had any experience with nextgenalternators? https://nextgenalternators.com/ They're supposedly based in Florida and I'd love to buy local. They've also quoted for higher output and a better warranty than Michael Singers for my suv so I'm obviously a bit concerned with the validity of their business. Too good to be true? Website was made in April 2019 but I can't find any info...
