[QUOTE="ramos, post: 9202, member: 540858"] I don't think the gauge adapters are the problem. How long is your 4 gauge run ? Is the 600.2 the only amp you are using ? Here is a simple test for a wire short. All you need is a multimeter and a couple of minutes. Take your main fuse out at the battery. Disconnect the amp from ground. Ground the negative probe of the multimeter. Set your meter to resistance. Probe the feed side of the main fuse. The side going to your amp. You should get a reading near infinity. If the wire is shorted you will get a reading that is little or nothing. Meaning there is no resistance. Which means your wire is shorted. Try this test and see what you come up with [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
