[QUOTE="NutHugger, post: 7749440, member: 627450"] What amp is it? They aren't rated in amps. That's why I ask. Current is drawn based on the voltage applied and impedence. Since those two change constantly on music, you couldn't possibly know how many watts are "pulled". Check the voltage of the power wire. If it tests good (14v+ with the engine running) then you've changed some other variable and either didn't mention it or don't know you did it. Unless you used a long length of it, it doesn't matter. wtf? Just check the voltage and then run a new strand. facepalm Double facepalm. Seatbelt bolts are commonly used and commonly problematic. It's always best to get a grommet and make a 3/4 inch hole somewhere that can be covered up if you ever choose to remove the wire and sell the vehicle. Then you just take the ground wire straight to the frame. Measure the voltage. Don't attempt to stretch wire. Don't use a distro block when you can get a 1/0 to 4awg wire reducer. Ground straight to the frame. [/QUOTE]
