[QUOTE="LM950, post: 8108197, member: 654711"] Title says it all. Basically I got a more powerful amp for my subs and was still using the same walmart junk power wire (Maybe 12 gauge or something idk). After I bridged the amp to the subs and they were bumping for a little while the amp just shut off. All fuses were ok but when I pulled the power wire from the amp and it touched metal there were no sparks or anything like there was no current. What do you guys think? I bought a new 1/0 gauge power wire but the fuse block fell in the engine compartment somewhere so I won't know for myself until this weekend when I get a new one. I'm hoping the amp didn't fry it was only on for like 5 minutes. [/QUOTE]
