[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7421807, member: 576029"] likely you have some speaker wiring that is shorting out. could be at the amp or in the sub box or on the sub. when making connections, don't wrap wire around terminals. you need to use proper terminals that are well crimped and in general, no bare copper wire should be visible anywhere at any connection, before you use any electrical tape. electrical tape acts as extra insulation, but should not cover bare copper wire (unless the wire is soldered). start by disconnecting the speaker wires. if the lights go off, then you know the wiring is the problem. from there, use a DMM to measure resistance between the speaker wires to verify, and fix the connections. always have the system off when making/changing connections. always have the battery negative disconnected when making power wire changes. pics of the install and the connections?
