If your amp is only seeing 8 volts i guarantee that is why it is in protect. Used to happen to my nine.1s all the time. My circuit breaker would trip (POS) and as the rear batt lost voltage both amps would go into protect. happend about around 9.5 - 10 volts.

My friend and I were installing my new amp and subwoofer yesterday, and we found a few shortcuts CC made when they installed my Basslink back in the day. I guess they don't keep any sandpaper in stock because my ground wasn't on bare metal either...sigh. Never again. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/nono.gif.eca61d170185779e0921b0faa9704973.gif

i'm willing to bet the inline fuse if they used one, may not be completely blown into but is blown bad enough it isn't letting enough power through. Sounds stupid but try it. If that wasn't it, i would removed the cap, and see if that helped.

it's either blown, or not. no half-way point

All you have to do is go in there knowing what you're talking about with the ground and how the cap may be causing issues too. If you can put them in their place, guarantee you'll get free stuff or money back.

BTW, why are you installing a sound system in a hybrid car? Those run on electricity half the time which means your car will be running more on gas because of the system.. whats the point of hybrid then?

It could have gotten hot, and be causing resistance. Not blown where there is not a connection. I have seen it, a friend of mine owns a shop....happened to a customer. He checked everything correctly.

why try to be a dam know it all.

All you have to do is make some hell in the store, ask for the manager, BE NICE with him or her, walk them to your car, show them what is wrong, ask them to fix it or ask them to take everything they put in out, you have 30 days with them on stuff like this, Moving the box is bulsshit, if you had to move the box to get to your spare, i guess that kills your warranty as well. If this dosent work, after BEING NICE, then ask for the ole REG office number. They hate whn you do this, no manager wants his or her store called in about customer compliant.They loose bonuses behind stuff like this. All in saying is, there was a why to fight this"BE NICE" !!!

Word be nice

Im in customer service, if the customer is nice ill bend over backwards trying to help them BUT if there pricks ill so everything i can to **** day up even more. Not that im an ******* but people constently try to **** over our store.

Kindness does crazy stuff

so i can half-blow my fuse? so then it'd be 150a instead of 300a? did you mount it on the exhaust manifold?

just said it wasn't my car, i didn't mount it anywhere. Since you know everything. Thats why you are running a pretty much pre-fab system b/c you know everything right? The fuse is blown granted, but it is still letting enough current through to keep the protect etc. light on, however it wasn't blown bad enough that the whole fuse itself burnt into or lost complete connection.

Quit trying to talk down to someone who probably knows more than you.
