[QUOTE="sciontistbb, post: 8213450, member: 638591"] Hi guy, I did an install on my friends Pontiac G8 GT. He has 2 Fosgate P3’s that were wired to a 1000W 2 channel Sony amp which finally fried on him. He just bought a brand new Belva BB5000D mono-block with a Belva 1/0g wiring kit with a 150a fuse(thick as 4 gauge). I got everything hooked up correctly and the amp automatically goes into protect mode when we tested it. The protect light has a slow flash to it. I checked my wiring and everything seams to be wired ok. I use my DMM and the battery is resting at 12.5 and 14.6 with car running. Being that this amp is new, we connect it to his Trans Am which has walmart 8 gauge wire and amp works perfectly fine. We then try a Kicker amp in the G8 and we get another protect light while working perfectly in the Trans Am. I pull all the wire I just installed and rewired it with no luck. Both amps go into protect in the G8 while working fine in the Trans Am. This is what we have: 2008 Pontiac G8 GT Factory HU L.O.C. Belva 1/0 gauge wire kit Belva BB5000D 2 Fosgate 4ohm DVC P3’s wired in series/parallel (4ohms) [/QUOTE]
