xxlbigboono Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 im just gonna remove power wire and install my 2 gauge power wire directly to the battery and run it through the firewall and back, its a 1982 chevy g20 lol 18 volt battery and like 150 amp alt the subs were beatin hard with the 14 gauge wire lol cant wait for my 2 gauge hopefully thats the issue :/ wait, you have an 18v battery powering your car...why? you have absolutely no use for one. so you had the subwoofers wired to the amp with 14 gauge, ok. i thought you had 14 gauge power wire. and what size power wire do you have now? because you will not be able to fit real 2 gauge in that amp. it has 4 gauge inputs. why dont you check to see if the amp is getting power and see if there is a signal coming out, and if there isnt, open up the amp and look for burnt things since theres no warranty. edit: just saw your recent post. make sure the ground is crimped VERY WELL or soldered. and that it is bolted to a very very thick piece of metal that has had the paint sanded off where the terminal touches the metal. Lol it is a 14g power wire its like half a finger nail wide and thick lol i think its the same size as my speaker wires haha,Should i call my dad and tell him to cut that power cord out lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Lol it is a 14g power wire its like half a finger nail wide and thick lol i think its the same size as my speaker wires haha,Should i call my dad and tell him to cut that power cord out lol dude dont even turn on the amp anymore with that small ass wire. i literally have bigger speaker wire and subwoofer speaker wire. why would you do that? you're trying to pull 100 amps through a wire that cant even support 15 amps. replace it with actual 4 gauge from knukonceptz or stinger or something. if the wire was really 2 gauge you would NOT be able to fit it in the terminal.

Sorry for so many questions i appreciate all that everyone has told me so far the best wire is the Kolossus wire (probably spelled that wrong). if you are going to get a new amp, then look for one before you buy new wire. what kind of 15's are we talking about? model numbers please. and generally every amp that is over like 1000rms will be (99% of the time) a class d.
