[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8384954, member: 665412"] The shock you're getting could be normal static from moving on the seat, or it could be from mounting your amps directly to metal, don't do that. Another culprit could be a bad battery to ground, bad alternator to ground, or both. The power you're pulling from your electrical is not the RMS rating of your sub, amp, or anything inbetween. Remember amplifiers are not 100% efficient and because of that they will pull significantly more power than what your speakers are getting. Efficiency is not constant either, although it tends to get better at higher power with class D circuits IIRC. Let us know when you get some testing done with your multimeter or getting your battery checked... we could talk about possibilities all day long but there are tests we asked you to do for a reason.
