[QUOTE="GrindFrog, post: 7853253, member: 617140"] So I hooked my amp up that I bought off the classifieds up for the first time last night. It would get very hot, and I had a bad ground connection. So I bought some 8 gauge wiring and ground it to mu battery. I am running 4 gauge power also. I have a pg tantrum 1200.1 amp. I drove around last night and I had no problems. Parked it in the garage, and this morning I turned it on, sounded fine, I backed up in my drive way and the amp turned down by about 80 percent. I don't think it's in protection mode because the light it still blue and stays on, doesn't blink either. The fan stinks though, has stunk since I hooked it up when it was running fine. Now I do have stock battery and stock alternator. It's a 96 civic ex, so changing alt will be a pain in the arse. Is it due to my alt/battery, or my is my amp gone? I'm pushing a hdc a 12", running 8 gauge wiring. [/QUOTE]
