[QUOTE="bigpoppahump, post: 8640232, member: 673376"] Thank you, I'll check my terminals. I did just replace some kicker terminals I was using temporarily with knu konfused positive and negative terminals last week but never double checked them after clamping them down the first time. The battery is a year old and is always above 12.8v and as high as 13.2 after resting for a night. All grounds are new, knu kol 1/0 ofc with sky high lugs crimped with a 16 ton crimper within the last week. The one thing I need to change for sure is the sub amp and alt are connected to the isolated (fused) side of the positive terminal which makes my amp wire live at all times, without the fuses installed in the terminal, thanks to the factory wire still connected to the alt and battery on the non isolated side. An oversight for sure and will be the first thing I do tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
