[QUOTE="LetMyBeatPound, post: 8629028, member: 673630"] Yea I got everything cranked down really good and still getting hot... And you guys are wrong about my amp. It definitely pulls way over 180 amp easily. My amp is the same exact amp as a Skar RP2000.1 which just did 3000w Dynamic Burst RMS @ 1ohm on an amp Dyno and pulled just about 300amps... Think I'm just gonna double up. so do I need to run double wire all the way from the alternator or is it ok to just double my power from my batteries by the amp? It will be a week or 2 before the wire I ordered comes but I have enough to double it from the rear batteries. And for the ground would I be ok putting the one to the batteries that also runs back to the start battery, and the second ground to the frame right there somewhere? Or is running it through the batteries back to the start battery the way to go? Because I know it's not getting total melting hot but then again I turn it down when it starts getting hot like that so it doesn't end up melting. Oh and definalky try the 250 amp fuse right? Think that may solve the issue? Thanks you everyone who has reply'd tho I do appreciate it. To think that just 4 months ago I had 4x Pyle 12s on cheap dual n pioneer amps and thought I was the loudest ever lmao... Dang I've come along way with y'all's help. [/QUOTE]
