fritosaregood Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 i would figure out a way to get more that just a single 0 gauge ground to the amp. and also more for the power input too. that may fix it seller feedback: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61719 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=68281 build log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=44800 Gf's build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/54346-kickergirls-camaro-new-box-pg-5/#entry753970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 i read that stetsom and various others can get away with using one set of power and ground terminals on their like 6000-7000rms amps because the runs will be so short the wire wont have any resistance to it or something sciency like that. people who use them have battery banks in the back right next to the amps as to make the run from the batteries to the amps as short as possible.

fritosaregood Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 i have 5 batteries how are your batteries grounded? seller feedback: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61719 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=68281 build log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=44800 Gf's build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/54346-kickergirls-camaro-new-box-pg-5/#entry753970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
