After re-reading, I did not see an update regarding the big3. Was it done? Also, the grounding spot on the amp side may be a bad location. Is it the wheel well? A better spot would be a sanded seatbelt bolt. Lack of wire chose that location but on such a short run, you can use 4AWG.am having the same issues as
Unfortunately I just tried this and still nothing. No change. Thanks though!Try removing just one of the RCAs on the amplifier. Try Left and Try Right to see if you get a better Signal . Make sure when removing either to try that the one removed does not ground out/touch metal. Report back if you will. Id like to hear if you have the same issue I had at one time.
It was advertised as Brand New as far as I am aware. Seems like it is quite poor quality though. My local shop said if the new headunit with better preamp outs didn't work but the 2 channel lanzar works than the amp is the culprit. I am starting to think they are right.By the way... Did you purchase a B-Stock amplifier??Or Bnew?
I'm not exactly sure how to explain where the ground is located but I used the same spot as a shop used for my previous build. I also made the spot even better by further grinded off the paint and using a nice large set of nuts, bolts, and washers.After re-reading, I did not see an update regarding the big3. Was it done?

I am now doubting the amp quality as well. Upon reflection, your Lanzar is getting the same signal and power, and making good use of it. Even if grounding was a tad bit off, you could still expect at least 300 watts (or whatever the Lanzar's output is). Quite a few locals use Skar audio with some pretty good results. I guess it is a dice roll wirh this brand.I used the same spot as a shop used
Wow!! Very Strange. I had an amplifier that the RCAs/one was soldered incorrectly on the board and both were together after they finally took a better look at it/ Opened it up. Could be possible that knowing Skar that they sent you back the same amplifier rather tan a bnew one?? Its happened to me on a couple sets of speakers and subs, till I placed a small white out dot on them with before and after pics to call them out on it, and finally got a working pieceUnfortunately I just tried this and still nothing. No change. Thanks though!

You need to know where your ground is located and how it is attached and if it was properly done. If not done correctly, it will spark and can possibly catch your vehicle on fire if it does it frequently. Very important it is connected solid and with no movement at the ground point and at the amplifier.I'm not exactly sure how to explain where the ground is located but I used the same spot as a shop used for my previous build.
