    Bc I am an idiot at heart. I never had turned the car on when saying its idle voltage...I wasnt sure if 2.5volts was a huge difference so i just settled with the motor off numbers. Sorry bout that.

    No offense taken, for $100 for the amp I was okay with that. It works with my subs so it makes me happy enough. Ill def look to see if there is any damage to the fuse area tomorrow to make sure. And I guess Ill be investing in some thicker ground wire soon.

    Everyone I have asked in person has said 'oh its just your ground' but when they see how it is, they get confused. Its on a clean metal, its been a mystery for a couple of us. And I need to find a way to properly secure it. The bottom of my trunk is a cover, so it would only be going into cloth...

    If it helps you figure out the thickness, its all from a Walmart kit. (wiring and cap, I know, im cheap) Gain is maybe around 65% up on the amp, but def not over 75%. Max volume i believe on my headunit is 40? I want to say 40 is the max. I have yet taken the volume past 21 on any song with...

    From cap to frame, just shy of 2ft roughly guessing.   ---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------   Okay sounds good lol. Now, my original question was, why is it now being faulty after the ground came out? Do you have any ideas? Even just a quick...

    I do wanna say the alt is stock but the current engine in it is a 305hp crate motor running with a turbo, if that makes a huge difference or not to the situation hah. A buddy has an iron I could use, and the wire would easy enough to grab. Now, stupid question i know, would the wiring that I...
