    Extra Battery + Cap??

    Buy a high-output alternator. You can add all the batteries and capacitors in the world but it doesn't do any good if your charging system cannot keep up. Alternators produce power, batteries and capacitors store it. Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

    Trying to un**** the install done by previous owner

    I have a 2001 Yukon XL 2500. When I got it the aftermarket system was not done right. I ran 12 gauge runs from the back, through the door grommets and used these for my door speakers, bypassing the factory speaker harness. Ripped out the 8 gauge CCA power and ground cables installed by the...

    You should put some adhesive lined heat shrink on those terminations if you don't want corrosion. Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

    Doing the "Big 4" what all should I fuse?

    An inline fuse holder and a fuse are much cheaper than a trip to the ICU Burn Unit... or worse. There is no reason not to fuse it. Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

    Subwoofer terminals melting

    That's for the power coming from your battery. I run 1/0 from there with a 300amp fuse into a distribution block.

    Speakers suddenly stop working while driving and I am confused..

    You turned your gain up too high and blew your speakers with a clipped signal. The gain is not a volume knob. It is for matching the input voltage on your amp with the output voltage from your head unit. Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

    Amp still popping fuses..

    With an oscope. You can also but a DD-1 or DD-1+ and use that to set your gains. You could also get an AMM-1 to check for clipping in real-time. Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

    Issue with hiss through amp

    I think you can buy RCA cables that have a ground lead if you want a cleaner install. You can always ground them behind your deck too.
