[QUOTE="LetMyBeatPound, post: 8628531, member: 673630"] Amp gets pretty warm, not really hot tho, it is the wire between the batteries and the amp that is getting hot. Not even the whole wire, just the half between the amp and the fuse, the fuse to battery side isn't getting hot just that 10" run between the amp and fuse that's getting hot. And it's not like it's super hot but it's like noticably hit to the touch. And my ground is about 10"-16". from the amp to the batteries, then from the batteries to main start battery is probably 10-12' ft. Which is grounded to the frame and the block.and I have another ground from the frame grnd to the block grnd. I wonder if having that long if a ground might be causing some of the heat build up. But putting double power input from my 2 rear batteries, and then a double ground input one to the 2 batteries and one to the frame near the amp shouldn't hurt tho no? [/QUOTE]
