[QUOTE="edzy, post: 5424808, member: 573836"] yes, thats what i meant, assuming the amp was in the trunk and the bat was up front. But if the bat is back there too, then its fine. The whole point is to make a short direct open connection to the amp, so you can see all the wires and know that they are not pinched or shorted running from the front to back. Being as its all in the trunk, and you can see that the wires are intact and in good shape, then its fine. BTW, what size wire are you running for power and ground? Should be at least 4awg for both. And if its jumped and nothing connected but power and ground with the jumper, and it goes into protect, with apropriate wire size, wether the cars on or off, then i would say bad amp as well. Maybe it got damaged being shipped back after it was confirmed ok? Stranger things have happened. So 14 volts at bat? 14 volts at amp? good ground/power wires? rem jumped for testing? sure the power and ground are in the right terminals? no sub hooked up for testing? If yes to all those..bad amp. and yes, disconnect subs when testing ohms of the coil. Otherwise your testing the ohms of the amp as well. [/QUOTE]
