[QUOTE="pearlsjam79, post: 6667067, member: 617756"] So I decided to do my first ever install and now I am thinking I made the wrong choice. I completed everything and have a couple of major issues. My setup consists of Alpine 9887 HU, ID CXS comps, 2 ID 8 inch subs, and two RE/US Amps amps. I have a new Red Top Batt up front and and Stinger SPV44 batt in the back. I got everything hooked up and getting sound from all speakers. However when I turn the volume up to certain level (12 and the vol goes to 35) the 4 channel amp goes into protect mode and shuts down. It also gets very hot. It is ok below that volume level. The subs are not right either. I am conservatively running 200 watts to each sub. I have to turn the gain, bass boost and remote control to the absolute max to get any sound out of them. I'm thinking the two issues are related and something to do with power supply. Ill attach a couple of pics of the batts and wiring. I should note that back batt is grounded to the chassis and the grounds to the amps go the neg batt terminal. I was told this would work. Any ideas would be much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
