[QUOTE="audiobaun, post: 7708338, member: 634282"] I would check to see if the power wire/connections on the amp are tight,not loose.Sometimes its forgotten to tighten,check for any of the power wiring connection for strands not in the terminal possibly grounding out to the amp itself..Sounds like a loose wire to me though...I had something happen to me last week with a POS Platinum dist block, to where it got hot enough that it actually melted the plastic of the block and damaged the inter link of the fused connection,and I had power on the amp?? but i had to rotate the fuse and this is when i found the issue.Power was on would go off back on ect..All due to a POS Dist Block.I put my old(once again ..old gear verses the new gear)MTX Gold Plated Dist block back in..runs cooler and no issues.Did the shop use a wire graument when they pulled the power wiring through??If not, good possibility that they may have cut slashed exposed wiring and and it could be grounding out??The Hood fuse tight??Is it more thamn a 150 for the 4ga supply??You got 3.7ohms on the subwoofer with the meter..Thats fine for 4ohms isnt it??Its pretty darn close to me...I think your sub is fine.Do you have another amplifier to try out just to test with??
